Bangladeshi citizens going from Bangladesh to Japan need to check authentication of the demand letter at the Embassy of Bangladesh in Japan and how to get an Emigration Clearance Card from BMET. The Japan-side COE and visa are not the only steps.
Especially important in Bangladesh
The accepting organization is instructed to submit a demand letter with applicant details to the Embassy of Bangladesh in Japan and get it authenticated.
Before leaving Bangladesh, you are instructed to get an Emigration Clearance Card from BMET.
Sending organizations are optional, but if you use one, it must be certified by the Bangladesh government.
If a Bangladeshi person in Japan changes to SSW, check whether reporting to the Embassy of Bangladesh in Japan is needed after changing status.
