Bangladesh work permit and business visa for foreign staff
Arrival planning for visiting teams and foreign staff, including transport, accommodation, immigration and local coordination.
Most Chinese companies entering Bangladesh send people before anything else: a founder to look at sites, engineers to install machines, managers to run the first shifts. Each of them needs the right visa, and anyone who will work here needs a work permit and a security clearance on top of it.
We plan the sequence before the first flight is booked, prepare and file the applications with the right authority, and look after your team on the ground: airport pickup, cars with drivers, housing and the everyday local coordination a new arrival cannot do alone.
What we handle
- Visa application and extension
- Work permit and security clearance
- Airport, vehicle and accommodation support
How it works
- 01
Plan who comes and why
We match each person's purpose to the right visa (business, employment or investor) and agree the order of arrivals with you.
- 02
Visa application
We prepare the invitation letter and supporting company documents, and guide each person through the application at the Bangladesh mission or on arrival where that is allowed.
- 03
Work permit
For anyone who will be employed here, we file the work permit with the authority responsible for your company's location: BIDA for most companies, BEPZA inside export processing zones, BEZA inside economic zones.
- 04
Security clearance
Work permits are followed by a security clearance through the Ministry of Home Affairs. We track it and answer any queries.
- 05
Visa conversion and renewals
We convert the entry visa to the correct long-stay visa once the permit is issued, and keep a calendar of every expiry so renewals are filed in time.
Cars, drivers and housing
New arrivals should not have to negotiate Dhaka traffic, landlords and SIM cards on their first day. We arrange the practical side for visiting teams and long-stay staff alike.
- Airport pickup and drop-off
- Cars with experienced drivers, by the day or by the month
- Serviced apartments and staff housing near your site
- Local SIM cards, bank introductions and translation on first visits
Questions Chinese clients often ask
Can our engineers come on a business visa to install machines?
A business visa suits short visits such as meetings and site assessments. Staff who will work here for a longer period need an employment visa and a work permit. We look at what each person will actually do and advise the right route before they travel.
Who issues the work permit?
It depends on where your company is registered to operate: BIDA for most companies, BEPZA in export processing zones and BEZA in economic zones. We file with the right one.
How long does it take?
It depends on the authority, the completeness of the documents and the security clearance. We give you a realistic sequence for your case rather than a fixed promise.
