What you get
- Full guide in 10 chapters
- Plain Bangla to read, or listen aloud

The most important rule
Do not pay any large amount before independently verifying the job, employer, visa and payment terms. An agency licence alone does not prove its North Macedonia job offer is genuine.

Remember: a screenshot of an online application or a PDF shown by the agency is not final proof of approval. Verify through the official portal or the relevant authority.
3. Stop paying if you see these signs
Warning signs
- “100% visa guarantee” or “there are never any rejections”.
- Keeping the employer's name secret.
- Pressure to pay quickly without time to verify.
- Talking only on WhatsApp with no written contract.
- Asking you to start working on a visit/tourist visa.
- Repeatedly asking for more money without proof of approval or refund.
- A work permit supplied by a broker — in 2025 the embassy said a large share of permits submitted by Bangladeshis were forged, and new permits were paused for a time.
4. A message you can send the broker
Copy into WhatsApp or SMS
Before starting the North Macedonia work permit process, I would like to confirm a few things: 1. What is the North Macedonia employer's company name, address and registration number? 2. Can I verify the job offer and the signed contract? 3. Through which process will the Work permit (Employment Service Agency) + temporary residence be applied for? 4. Will you give me the official application number or online proof I can verify? 5. What is the total cost, the step-by-step payment, and the refund terms if the visa fails? 6. Can you give references of workers from Bangladesh who went to North Macedonia successfully through you? I will decide on payment only after verifying all information and the contract.
