UAE visa restriction for Bangladeshis
Monday, 10 February 2014
The United Arab Emirates has not been issuing any new working visa to the Bangladeshis since long and our government has failed to solve the problem. There is a huge demand for Bangladeshi workers in the UAE job market but Bangladesh has been losing its manpower export market due to the restriction.
The UAE is one of the most favourite destinations for Bangladeshi people but visa restriction of the UAE government has put an adverse effect on our manpower export sector. There are around 0.6 million Bangladeshi workers in the UAE, who contribute to our economy. The government should not sit idle. Every year many job seekers enter the job market and we don't have enough opportunity to recruit them. So, we are heavily dependent on manpower export. The Bangladesh government should take urgent steps to solve the problem.
