One corridor, worked every week. Not eleven, worked occasionally.
Manpower BD works one corridor, Bangladesh to the Gulf, supplying workers to employers in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain. Manpower supply to six GCC countries from Bangladesh means recruiting, trade-testing, documenting and deploying Bangladeshi workers for Gulf employers. Each destination has its own attestation route, medical requirement and visa process, and its timeline moves with embassy throughput. Multi-country agencies can offer alternatives when one corridor slows, which is a real advantage; what they cannot easily do is know one corridor well enough to tell you, before you commit, which document an embassy is likely to query. Across all six destinations we supply skilled, semi-skilled and general workers for the Gulf’s main hiring sectors.
What does deployment from the Bangladesh-to-Gulf corridor involve?
- Sourcing skilled and semi-skilled workers from across Bangladesh
- Background checks and hands-on trade testing in Bangladesh
- Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) clearance for each departure
- Attestation, GCC medical and visa processing for the Gulf destination
- Group flights and final deployment logistics from Bangladesh
GCC Countries We Supply
Why 1 Corridor?
One corridor gives depth: Manpower BD recruits only from Bangladesh and supplies only the six GCC states, so the same embassy files, medical rules and visa steps come up every week. That repetition is what lets us flag a likely document query before you file.
Depth in One Route
Manpower BD files paperwork on the Bangladesh-to-Gulf corridor every week, so the documents each embassy tends to query are known before you file yours. That repetition covers demand letters, powers of attorney, employment contracts and visa files for all six GCC states. An agency spread across many source countries sees each route less often, which is why depth in one route is what we offer instead of breadth.
Experienced Returnee Workers
Workers who have completed a Gulf contract and returned to Bangladesh already know iqama (residence permit) rules, site discipline and the working climate, so they usually need less induction than first-time migrants. Every returnee is trade-tested again before a visa is raised, so past experience is checked rather than assumed. Draw on our experienced returnee workers for lower first-timer risk.
Trade Tests on Video
Trade testing happens at our centre in Bangladesh, on video, before a visa is raised, so competence is shown where the worker is rather than claimed on a CV. Each worker is graded against a fixed benchmark for your trade, and you can review the recording before approving the shortlist. Our screening and quality assurance process sets out how each test is run and scored.
Zero Worker Cost, Evidenced
The Employer Pays Principle applies on every placement: the employer covers the agency fee, trade test, GCC medical, visa, emigration clearance and air ticket. Our policy is that nothing is deducted from wages later, and a published recruitment fee refund policy covers anyone who takes money from a worker in our name. Because recruitment fees are a common worry for Bangladeshi workers, our Employer Pays policy is put in writing, not merely stated.

Why Recruit From Bangladesh?
Working one corridor, Bangladesh to the Gulf, our in-house team coordinates the Bangladesh side of each hire, from the GCC medical and the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) clearance to attestation and ticketing, instead of passing each step to a third-party broker. That is why the departure date we quote reflects current embassy throughput, not a brochure average. When a document is likely to stall at a GCC embassy, we flag it before it costs you a mobilisation, because we file this corridor’s paperwork every week.
Every worker in the six-GCC corridor is trade-tested at our centre in Bangladesh before a visa is raised, and graded against a fixed benchmark rather than a self-reported CV. You review that verified shortlist on video and approve the exact crew that will travel, so the people who arrive on your Gulf site are the people you selected. Competence is shown in a recorded test instead of being taken on trust from a CV, which reduces the risk of a mismatched arrival.
The attested demand letter, GCC medical report, visa and BMET clearance are kept together in one file for every placement, so each hire made under our Government-Approved Recruiting Licence RL-1472 is auditable from the first form to arrival. Because we work a single Bangladesh-to-Gulf corridor, each destination’s requirements are known in advance and prepared in parallel, which keeps a compliant process from becoming a slow one. If a client or authority asks for proof, the file is already complete.
How to Hire From Bangladesh?
What employers ask ?
These answers cover the questions GCC employers raise before hiring from Bangladesh: destinations, timelines, worker costs, documents and licensing. Every placement is processed under the Overseas Employment and Migrants Act, 2013 (Act No. 48 of 2013), the statute that governs overseas employment from Bangladesh. Manpower BD recruits under Government-Approved Recruiting Licence RL-1472. Reviewed by Manpower BD Team.
Which GCC countries do you supply workers to?
Manpower BD supplies all six GCC states: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain. We recruit only in Bangladesh and deploy only to these six states, which keeps our attention on one corridor. Each state has its own attestation route, medical requirement and visa process, and visa issuance for Bangladeshi nationals can pause or change, so we confirm the current position for your country before you commit.
How long does it take to hire from Bangladesh?
Typically about five to seven weeks from an attested demand letter: 7 to 10 days for sourcing and trade testing, 3 to 4 weeks for BMET clearance, medicals and visa stamping, and 7 to 10 days from visa to departure. Embassy throughput varies by country, so we confirm the current figure for your destination before you commit. We also flag any document likely to slow it down.
Who pays recruitment costs for Bangladeshi workers?
The employer does: under Manpower BD’s Employer Pays commitment, workers pay no recruitment fee for any of the six destinations. The agency fee, trade test, GCC medical, visa, BMET clearance and air ticket are borne by the employer, and our policy is that nothing is recovered later through wage deduction. Our published Employer Pays policy makes the worker visa zero-cost on every placement in the corridor.
What documents are needed to hire from Bangladesh?
You need three: a demand letter, a power of attorney and a proforma employment contract, each attested by the Bangladesh embassy or consulate in your country. Once they are attested, we apply for BMET recruitment permission and begin sourcing. Some destinations also ask for a visa quota confirmation. Our recruitment document templates by country give you a starting format, and we check each document before you file it.
Is Manpower BD a licensed recruiting agency?
Yes. Manpower BD holds Government-Approved Recruiting Licence RL-1472 and recruits under the Overseas Employment and Migrants Act, 2013 (Act No. 48 of 2013), the law that governs overseas employment from Bangladesh. Before departure, each worker also receives emigration clearance from BMET, the government bureau responsible for overseas employment, so every deployment is on record.
