From Bangladesh: visa first, then the offer
One of the largest communities in the UAE. The work permit is still the employer’s. Visit is arranged before you fly.

- Visit visa in advance — not on-arrival

- Employer files MOHRE / ICP
- Passport
- Six months from the day you enter
Bangladeshi passports are not on ICP’s 25 June 2026 visa-on-arrival nationality list. You apply for a visit visa through the airline, a hotel, ICP or the UAE mission. That stamp is for travel and interviews. Starting a shift on it is how people get fined.
The job is a company visa after medical and Emirates ID — construction, logistics, hospitality, some clinics. A Dhaka ‘processing fee’ is not that filing. Attest what HR listed before you fly if the role is regulated.
Dirham math: divide by 3.67 for dollars, then to taka. Staff housing can make a modest package work; Marina rent will not. See visa by nationality for the full passport table.
Practical notes, not official law. Confirm on ICP, MOHRE, RTA, KHDA and your employer before you act.
