Overview
South Korea recruits Bangladeshi workers exclusively through the Employment Permit System (EPS), a government-to-government programme administered in Bangladesh by BMET. Wages are among the highest available to Bangladeshi workers anywhere, which is precisely why EPS fraud is so widespread.
We need to be blunt about this: no private agency can obtain an EPS visa for you. Registration, the EPS-TOPIK language test and the job roster are all handled by BMET directly. Anyone charging lakhs for guaranteed Korea placement is committing fraud, and we will help you report them.
Why South Korea?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can your agency get me a Korea EPS visa?
No, and neither can any other private agency. EPS is government-to-government and administered by BMET. We help with language course guidance, medical coordination and ticketing - the parts private agencies are actually permitted to handle.
Someone is offering guaranteed Korea placement for eight lakh taka. Is that real?
No. That is the single most common overseas employment fraud in Bangladesh. Selection is by lottery and test score through BMET, and no payment can influence it. Report the offer to BMET and to the police, and bring it to us - we will help you document it.
What is EPS-TOPIK?
It is the Korean language proficiency test required for EPS registration. Passing places you on the roster; it does not guarantee selection, because employers choose from the roster.
How long is the wait?
Six to eighteen months between passing the test and receiving a job offer, and sometimes longer. Nobody can shorten it, whatever they charge.
Check all employer documents and agency licence before payment. Never send money to a personal mobile wallet number.
