Hire Bangladeshi
workers for Singapore

We recruit Bangladeshi Work Permit workers for Singapore employers through licensed recruitment partners in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a major source of construction and marine labour for Singapore — we source and screen candidates at origin, verify their documents before they travel, and manage the application through to deployment. A clean, transparent recruitment chain — start with a free quota check below.

Why hire workers from Bangladesh?

Bangladesh is one of Singapore’s long-established Non-Traditional Source countries and a
major supplier of construction, marine and process labour. For employers, the draw is a large,
experienced workforce well-used to Singapore’s sectors and work standards. As with any
corridor, the difference is in how it’s run: we recruit through licensed partners in Bangladesh,
verify documents at source, and keep the recruitment chain transparent and compliant from
first interview to arrival.

Licensed partners in Bangladesh

We recruit through partners who hold the licences required to recruit and deploy workers from Bangladesh, so the chain is compliant on both sides.

Documents verified at source

Qualifications, identity and trade certificates are checked at origin, before a worker travels — not discovered to be wrong on arrival.

A transparent recruitment chain

Every step, from selection to IPA, is documented. You hire with a recruitment trail you can stand behind.

What kinds of workers can I hire from Bangladesh?

Bangladesh is strongest for construction, marine and process labour, and can also supply eligible service roles subject to source-country rules. Construction and marine in particular draw heavily on the Bangladeshi workforce. We confirm which of your roles are eligible to be filled from Bangladesh before sourcing begins, and match candidates to your trade, experience and the certifications your sector requires.

Construction & trades

General workers, bar benders, formworkers and certified trades, with BCA testing arranged in Bangladesh.

Marine & shipyard

Welders, fitters, riggers and yard crew, with trade testing at source.

Process

Plant construction and maintenance trades for project work.

Services (where eligible)

Specific roles subject to source-country and NTS-OL rules.

How does recruiting a worker from Bangladesh work?

Recruiting from Bangladesh runs through the same Singapore application as any Work Permit hire, with sourcing, testing and document steps handled in Bangladesh first. We shortlist through our partners, you select, candidates complete trade testing and the medical, documents are verified and BMET emigration clearance is obtained, and then the worker travels on the In-Principle Approval. We coordinate both ends so the Bangladesh-side steps don’t hold up your Singapore timeline.

What makes a recruitment chain from Bangladesh compliant?

A compliant Bangladesh corridor means following the rules on both sides: Singapore’s Employment Agencies Act and work-pass requirements, and Bangladesh’s own rules on recruiting and deploying workers overseas, administered through BMET. We work only with partners who hold the licences required in Bangladesh, keep documentation complete and verifiable, and follow the emigration clearance process. For you, that means a recruitment chain that stands up to scrutiny.

This matters beyond good practice. Employers are accountable for how their workers were recruited, and a clean, documented chain protects you. It’s also why ESG-conscious companies increasingly ask how their workers were sourced — and why we can answer that question clearly.

Hiring Bangladeshi workers — common questions

Yes. Bangladesh is an approved Non-Traditional Source country for Singapore Work Permits in sectors including construction, marine and process. We confirm eligibility for your exact roles before sourcing.

Bangladesh is strongest for construction, marine and process labour — general workers and certified trades — and can supply eligible service roles subject to the rules. We match candidates to your trade, experience and certification needs.

We recruit through licensed partners in Bangladesh and verify qualifications, identity and trade certificates at source, before a worker travels. Skilled trades are tested — for example BCA testing for construction — so you’re not relying on paperwork alone.

BMET (the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training) is Bangladesh’s government body that licenses recruiting agencies and clears workers for overseas employment. Emigration clearance through BMET is part of a compliant Bangladesh recruitment chain.

It depends on the trade, testing, document verification and BMET clearance, alongside the Singapore application. We coordinate the Bangladesh-side steps in parallel where possible and give you a realistic timeline for your roles before you commit.

Yes, when done properly. We follow Singapore’s rules and work with partners who hold the licences required in Bangladesh, with documentation verified and BMET emigration clearance obtained. A clean, documented chain protects you as the employer.

Yes — our other active corridor is India, and we are expanding across the region as licensed partnerships are signed. If you’re comparing corridors, we can advise which suits your roles.
