BMET in Khulna
Khulna Division has a BMET office serving the southwest of Bangladesh. Workers from the Khulna region applying for overseas employment — including Ukraine — can register and undergo pre-departure formalities at the local BMET office. As with other divisions, the Smart Card clearance (the final BMET step before departure) requires your D-visa and work permit — complete the Dhaka visa appointment first.
Travel from Khulna to Dhaka
Khan Jahan Ali Airport in Khulna operates limited flights to Dhaka. The Sundarban Express and Chitra Express trains connect Khulna to Dhaka (approximately 7–8 hours). By bus via Mawa/Padma Bridge route, travel time is approximately 4–5 hours. The Padma Bridge significantly reduced travel time for Khulna–Dhaka road journeys.
Book your Dhaka embassy appointment before finalising travel arrangements. Allow a margin of at least one day before and after the appointment for travel, rest, and any document collection issues.

Khulna and the Ukraine Labour Market
Khulna Division historically provides workers to the shipping, manufacturing, and agricultural sectors. Ukrainian employers in construction, agriculture, and logistics have recruited Bangladeshi workers.
