Bangladesh to UK Work Visa: How to Apply

Applicants from Bangladesh usually need a Skilled Worker visa sponsored by a licensed UK employer, plus overseas employment clearance before departure.

Licensed sponsor

The employer must be on the UK sponsor register.

TB test

Required for applicants resident in Bangladesh.

BMET clearance

Workers going abroad register with BMET before departure.

Biometrics in Dhaka

Given at a UK visa application centre.

Applying from Bangladesh

After receiving a Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed UK employer, you apply online, pay the visa fee and Immigration Health Surcharge, take a TB test at an approved clinic, and attend biometrics at a visa application centre in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh emigration clearance

The Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) handles registration and emigration clearance for Bangladeshi workers going abroad. Recruiting agencies must be licensed — check before paying anyone.

Protect yourself from visa and job fraud

A job offer or offer letter does not extend your visa by itself. You still need a genuine employer, a real role and a successful application through the official government process.

  • Never pay anyone to "buy" a job offer, sponsorship certificate or visa
  • Check the employer on the official register or company registry of that country
  • Be wary of offers with no interview, no contract, or pressure to pay quickly
  • Never submit false, altered or backdated documents — refusals and bans can follow

How Siddhivinayak Overseas helps

We check your profile against the route, explain what the official rules require, and help you prepare a complete, accurate application. We also introduce suitable candidates to employers registered in the destination country that are recruiting for genuine roles.

The employer interviews you and decides whether to hire you, and the government decides your visa. Where the destination country requires immigration advice to come from a registered or authorised professional, that advice is given by our partner lawyers.

  • Eligibility check against current official rules
  • Introductions to registered employers with genuine vacancies — you are never charged for a job offer
  • CV, document checklist and application preparation
  • Interview preparation for employer and visa stages
  • Written, itemised fees before you pay anything
