Barrier of investment in Bangladesh

Each government shows cordial coordination but in practical there are barrier in government offices, banks & lack of proper knowledge of consultants to guide in right way as FDI policy. Most of banks are not aware of foreign investment policy and can not guide foreign investors what are requirement to open bank account as foreigners, whether private investor visa is required or do NOT, can a foreign investor start business without investor visa (PI) or does NOT, why need permission from BOI (Board of Investment) and should take permission etc.
