Aspirant migrant workers can register from September 22 in Dhaka and Barisal Divisions, Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Engineer Khandker Mosharraf Hossain announced during a press briefing Thursday afternoon.
The minister held the press briefing at the Prabashi Kalyan Bhaban in the capital.
He said about 4,445 information centres will be set up to facilitate online registration for those who want to go abroad for trade-related purposes.
He added as no other recruiting agency could send workers abroad, inclusion in the new database would be important for the aspiring overseas workers.
Workers would also be allowed to go abroad if anybody sends visa for them from other countries, the minister said.
