What is 'BMET Immigration Clearance'?
The Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) office of the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment of Bangladesh has introduced a process to register aspiring migrants into the government-mandated BMET database.
If you have received a new visa from any country where employment is permitted from Bangladesh, and your visa type is a work permit, then you will need to complete this process and get the BMET immigration clearance smart card. BMET clearance is mandatory for migrant workers before flying abroad.
You will not be allowed to pass the airport immigration without having this card, even if you are holding a valid visa.
The process of getting a “BMET immigration clearance” is also called “Manpower processing” in Bangladesh. And the card issued after clearance is called the “Manpower card“.
By completing the manpower process through our agency, you will get your QR-based digital NFC card, which includes your passport information, visa details, and biometric information.
The government is currently providing an online-based PDF copy of the card; no plastic card is being provided!
Who needs this?
- Any person who has received a valid work permit visa. Regardless of the profession mentioned in the visa, if it is a work permit visa, you must complete the manpower process and get the BMET clearance smart card.
- The dependents of the candidate will not require this clearance.
