Employer & recruiter checklist

RL number is on the government's licensed agency list

Search the name and RL number on oep.gov.bd/agencies. The licence must be valid, not suspended. Open ↗

The office you visited is the address on the licence

Fraudsters borrow real licence numbers. The office, signboard and licence certificate on the wall must match.

The person you deal with works for that agency

Call the agency's number from the official list (not the one on your offer) and ask for them by name.

The agency shows a demand letter / job order for this job

A genuine recruitment starts with a demand letter from the employer, usually attested by the Bangladesh mission.

The agency gives a written, itemised total cost

Compare it with BMET's maximum for your destination. Anything above it can be reported.

Every payment gets a stamped receipt with the RL number

No receipt, no proof. Use the fee ledger to keep track.

The company is on the official company register

Every destination has a business register. The name must match exactly, and the company must be active.

The business operates at the address given

Map photos are not enough, they can be years old. A local verifier can go and look.

An independently found phone number confirms the vacancy

Find the number yourself (official register, company website). Numbers on the offer can lead straight back to the recruiter.

The visa / permit names this employer as sponsor

Check on the destination's official portal, see the visa check guide.

Bangladeshi workers already there confirm conditions

Ask relatives, community groups or the mission's labour wing whether they know this employer.

Salary is normal for this job in that country

Offers far above the going rate are bait.
