Taking to reporters at the airport, Group Captain AHM Touhid-ul Ahsan, director of the airport, said two foreign nationals—one from Ivory Coast and another from the USA— arrived here early Tuesday.
They sought on-arrival visas but the authorities refused them as the government suspended on-arrival visas from Sunday night until March 31.
Then they were sent back by the next flight, he said.
Ahsan, however, did not disclose the identities of the two foreign nationals and the name of the airlines.
