Remitters will get VIP service at the airports when they arrive in Bangladesh, Adviser to the Ministry of Expatriate Welfare and Foreign Employment Asif Nazrul said today (24 September).
“We will provide them everything that a VIP gets at the airport, except the use of the lounge,” he said during a briefing at the meeting room of the expatriate ministry.
Nazrul said when a VIP goes to an airport, they often have someone to carry their luggage and stay with them through the check-in and immigration procedures. These services will be provided to the migrant workers.
“Initially, we will focus on workers in the Middle East. Later, we will look into migrant workers in Europe. A worker travelling to and from the Middle East will get VIP treatment. We are thinking about allowing the use of the lounge later,” he said.
Nazrul said the aim within the next month was to remove the “helpless situation” a worker experiences after going to the airport.
“If necessary, we will hire new people with training through outsourcing. We will have zero tolerance for any expatriate feeling harassed or humiliated at the airport under any circumstances,” he added.
