As par authority, the migration process began on 1 March with costs ranging between Tk44,000 and Tk56,000 and workers receive a minimum wage of 600 Brunei dollars (equivalent to Tk50,000). Now, the burning question is regarding the transaction issues of the Bangladeshi agency. Does it truly cost 44k to 55k, or is it 3 to 4 lakhs? If the cost falls within the range of 44k to 55k, it would be beneficial for our citizens who are interested in going. #migration #brunei
