Bangladesh: Korea resumes taking Bangladeshi expatriate workers

DHAKA, 06 January 2022, (TON): Some 92 Bangladeshi workers left Dhaka for South Korea by chartered flights operated by a Korean air company.

A South Korean Embassy press release said “it was the first batch of Bangladesh expatriate workers going to Korea this year.”

The South Korean Government suspended the recruitment of foreign workers in March 2020.

It resumed receiving expatriates last month.

 After the resumption, so far, a total of 203 Bangladesh expatriate workers have traveled to Korea. In December, 111 Bangladesh workers were allowed into Korea.

Among 92 workers who were admitted this time, 44 workers were newly employed while the rest of them were re-entry workers.

Korea has been admitting medium and low-skilled foreign workers from 16 countries including Bangladesh through the EPS (Employment Permit System) program.
