Work Permit Flight Ticket — What Bangladeshi Workers Need
Every work permit visa application from Bangladesh — for Portugal, Malta, Serbia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Romania, Hungary, Poland, and other destinations — requires a flight itinerary as part of the supporting documents. A real airline ticket is not required and is impractical because work-permit processing typically takes 6 to 16 weeks.
