Despite an official labor pact enabling 4,000 Bangladeshi workers annually to migrate to Greece, actual migration numbers remain low, with only about 500 migrants recorded in the last two years.
An existing bilateral labor agreement between Bangladesh and Greece enables up to 4,000 Bangladeshi workers to migrate legally to Greece each year for employment. However, data from the past two years reveal that only approximately 500 Bangladeshis have migrated under the program, signaling underutilization of the agreement.
According to official sources and reports, the disparity could be attributed to factors such as bureaucratic hurdles, lack of awareness among potential migrants, and possible challenges in recruitment processes. The agreement aims to facilitate structured labor migration to Greece to meet workforce demands, while ensuring protections for overseas workers.
Authorities from both countries are reportedly assessing the situation to improve the implementation and accessibility of the labor migration scheme. The goal is to better support Bangladeshi workers seeking employment opportunities in Greece under legal and regulated conditions, fostering beneficial economic and social ties between the two nations.
