Pathway overview

At a glance

Summary

Bangladesh’s employment visa lets an overseas employee stay for an approved job. The employer must obtain support from the investment or economic-zone authority responsible for its business. The employment visa and work permit serve different purposes, and both must be in order before the approved job begins. A later employer change needs its own check.
