BD expatriates in Bahrain to get legal supports
Staff Reporter :
The Bangladesh Embassy in Bahrain, in collaboration with the Wage Earners’ Welfare Board, has introduced a crucial legal support service for Bangladeshi expatriates residing in the Gulf nation.
This initiative, revealed through an official Facebook post on Tuesday, aims to provide essential legal assistance to the expatriate community.
Under this newly launched programme, seasoned lawyers designated by the embassy will offer free legal advice and support to Bangladeshi expatriates.
The legal services will be available every Tuesday from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, according to local time, on the embassy’s premises in Bahrain.
The inauguration ceremony of this service took place at the mission hall room and was attended by key figures including Bangladesh Ambassador to Bahrain, Nazrul Islam, embassy officials, and Bangladeshi expatriates residing in Bahrain.
Ambassador Nazrul Islam emphasised the importance of this initiative, stating, “Our primary goal is to ensure that our expatriates receive adequate legal support whenever they require it.
This service not only addresses immediate legal concerns, but also contributes to the overall well-being of our fellow countrymen abroad.”
The embassy has plans to expand the scope of this service in response to the evolving needs of the Bangladeshi expatriate community.
Ambassador Nazrul Islam affirmed the embassy’s commitment to continuous improvement, aiming to provide comprehensive support to foster a sense of security among expatriates.
In addition to the newly introduced legal support service, the embassy will continue to provide existing legal assistance to Bangladeshi expatriates on regular workdays, reinforcing its dedication to supporting its citizens in all aspects of their lives while residing in Bahrain.
The inaugural ceremony witnessed a strong turnout of Bangladeshi expatriates, who expressed their gratitude for the embassy’s efforts in addressing their legal needs.
The legal support services are expected to cover a broad spectrum of legal issues, ensuring that expatriates receive guidance and assistance in navigating complex legal matters during their stay in Bahrain.
Bangladeshi expatriates in Bahrain, much like their counterparts around the world, often encounter unique legal challenges related to employment, immigration, and residency, the foreign ministry sources said.
Access to reliable legal advice and assistance is paramount to safeguarding their rights and interests.
The launch of this legal support service underscores the Bangladesh Embassy’s commitment to providing its citizens overseas with the necessary resources to effectively address these challenges, it said.
