BMET in Rajshahi
Rajshahi Division has a BMET district office for pre-departure registrations. Rajshahi-based workers applying for Ukraine employment can begin document compilation at the local BMET office, though the Smart Card clearance requiring your visa will need to follow your Dhaka visa appointment.
Travel from Rajshahi to Dhaka
Shah Makhdum Airport in Rajshahi has direct flights to Dhaka (approximately 40–45 minutes). Train services (Silk City or Padma Express) take approximately 3–4 hours. Road via the N5 highway takes approximately 4 hours.
Plan your Dhaka visit to cover both the embassy appointment and (in a second trip or later in the same trip) the BMET clearance after visa collection. VFS Global offers passport return by courier if you prefer not to make a second trip for collection.

Agent Caution — Rajshahi
Rajshahi has active recruiting agencies for Gulf and Southeast Asian markets. Ukraine expertise in this market is very limited. Any Rajshahi-based agent claiming to process Ukrainian work permits locally should be treated with caution. Verify any permit using the Kyiv Pathway verification service before making any payment exceeding normal document preparation costs.
