Job seekers trying to migrate from Bangladesh to UAE will have to undergo tighten background checks from now on. The Bangladeshi Govt. has decided to strictly monitor the migrants based on the discussions the countries had.
An estimated 700,000 to 800,000 Bangladeshi expats are working in the UAE, both in the skilled and unskilled sector. As per the embassy documents, between 700 to 800 Bangladeshis are currently serving prison terms in the UAE.
Bangladeshi government has also raised the concern of some of its citizens not being able to change jobs due to visa restrictions, and thus being exploited by their current employers.
