Dear Ali,

It seems you really planing for something big, about your queries I am giving you the best answers upon my Experience and Knowledge.

1-On an average 80% workers dose not takes more than a month to learn and get used to with a little complex job, but you have to find the capable,willing to type workers and have to have good trainers.
2-Gender issue is almost as same as Pakistan, just ensure a good environment to avoid unnecessary problems.
3- Usually worker category employees stays at least 2-3 years and more depending on working environment and offering by other companies.
4-For workers, minimum wage is BDT 3000 excluding over time.
5- Kitchen Expense and utilities depends on food habit and life style for mid level 8,000-10,000 and for pos level 10,000-25,000.
6-According to traffic conditions of Dhaka it will take 1.30-2.00 hours to travel.
7-No special Do or Dont peoples are cooperative here, just be well mannered.
8-Two Bed room Flat in Gulshan/Banani 22,000-35,000  and in Dhanmondi/Eskaton 18,000-30,000. Both areas are pos and This rent is for non furnished flat.
9-Usually most of the foreigners lives in Baridhara and Gulshan. I also know few Pakistani communities they lives in Dhanmondi.

I hope these information will help you, if you have any other queries or you want any cooperation, feel free to mail or call me.

Dear Ali,

The best advise is embassy website for Bangladesh, and ask the Consular of Economics any questions.

I know this Embassy is in the United States, however they should be able to answer your questions or direct you to someone in the Ministry of Economics in Bangladesh.
