Approval time for E Pass by shane59

Can anyone advise how much time does it usually take from the date of submission, for an E Pass application to be approved and is the work permit issued at the same time, or does this take more time. Can anyone also explain why it takes so long for ...

shane59

Thanks Beppi. All I know is that my employer has said that as soon as they receive my completed E Pass form, they will put it on the dashboard (whatever that means), and submit it on the 29th Dec. Read More

shane59

Thanks Beppi. No, I am not on my own, and so renting a room is not an option. I presume that the difference between an apartment and a Condo, is that the later is in a complex containing various facilities such as pool, gym tennis court etc? Read More

HAIR DRESSER by Abby Nally

Is there any salon in Dhaka that can braid African hair? :)

shane59

Good to hear Abby, and as you say there are lots of great people in BD, locals and expats. Unfortunately you just need to get past all the desperados, which can be very difficult at times, especially for a woman. Good luck with the remainder of your ... Read More

Hi Abby, it is such a pity that what could and should be a great site for expats to share information and generally make life in Bangladesh easier has been stuffed by the lack of ability of the locals to understand what the site is meant for, and ... Read More

shane59

Nothing specific Charly. It's just Dhaka and Bangladesh in general. Dhaka very much deserves it's rating as the most unlivable city in the world (putting Damascus aside), and when combined with Bangladesh's rating as one of the 3 most ... Read More

Priscilla, If it were just an occasional post from a Bangladesh national, I could accept your response, but it's not. I estimate that at least 80% of posts on the Bangladesh Expat Forum website are from non expats (i.e., Bangladesh nationals), ... Read More
