The Election Commission (EC) will launch National Identity Card (NID) services for expatriate Bangladeshis living in Hong Kong on 20 November, allowing them to access the services through the commission's initiative.
Officials of the EC's NID wing confirmed the development on Tuesday (10 November).
According to an official order, Election Commissioner Md Anwarul Islam Sarkar will inaugurate the services during his visit to Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China.
He is scheduled to stay there from 20 to 26 November and meet expatriate Bangladeshis to discuss voting rights, voter registration and NID-related services.
The order said the commissioner would leave for Hong Kong around 19 November, depending on convenience, and return to Dhaka on 27 November or another suitable date.
The expenses for the visit will be covered by the Election Commission Secretariat's Identification System for Enhancing Access to Services (IDEA) Project Phase II.
The EC currently provides NID services to expatriate Bangladeshis in 17 countries through Bangladesh missions.
