If you are a Bangladeshi national planning to work abroad, your emigration runs through the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) under the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment. Before you pay any dalal or agency, verify their BMET recruiting licence on the official register, get your emigration clearance (smart card), and know which welfare-board benefits and Probashi Kallyan Bank services you are entitled to as a registered migrant worker.
How far this page has been checked. Every link is on an official government or regulator domain. 0 of 26 were opened and read directly; the other 26 could not be fetched automatically — these sites block robots, fail TLS handshakes, or render only in a browser — and were taken from another official page that links to them, or from a search result on that same official domain. None was guessed. Expect a higher share of moved or retired pages here than on the rest of this series.
The Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment sets policy; BMET is the operational agency that issues emigration clearance, licenses recruiting agencies, and runs Technical Training Centres; the Overseas Employment Platform (OEP) is BMET's digital registry.
Every outbound migrant worker recruited through a licensed channel must obtain BMET emigration clearance (the smart card) and attend registration through the OEP system before travel.
This is the most important thing on this page. Only recruiting agencies holding a current BMET/OEP licence may lawfully charge and deploy you; check the official agency register on the OEP platform before you pay any fee, and be alert that many private agent and "consultancy" sites imitate the official look.
raims.oep.gov.bd and oep.gov.bd pages could not be fully verified by automated fetch during this compilation; a published, distinctly-labelled blacklist/cancelled-licence list was not locatable as a standing official page at time of writing — confirm any agency's status directly with BMET/OEP or your district employment office before paying.
Migrant workers are required to attend a Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO) session, delivered through BMET's Technical Training Centre (TTC) network, before deployment.
The Wage Earners' Welfare Board administers the welfare fund and mandatory migrant insurance (death, repatriation, and disability benefits funded by a per-worker levy); Probashi Kallyan Bank provides collateral-free migration and reintegration loans to registered workers.
wewb.gov.bd's own domain intermittently resolves to a Teletalk-hosted portal rather than a stable single URL; use the addresses below and re-verify current live URLs in your browser.
Bangladesh missions in labour-receiving countries post Labour Welfare Wings/attachés specifically to handle migrant workers' complaints, wage claims, and repatriation cases.
Non-resident Bangladeshis file returns and can now use an email/OTP-based system with the National Board of Revenue; Bangladesh Bank pays a standing 2.5% government cash incentive on remittances sent through formal banking channels, and the Ministry's reintegration work (with ILO support) focuses on recognising overseas work experience and skills on return.
