Ami Probashi – an app-based solution from the Ministry of Expatriate Welfare to digitalise the process of hunting jobs abroad – has gained traction in Bangladesh, gaining more than two million users in just six months.
Moreover, registrations of existing and aspirant migrants in the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training’s (BMET) online database have gone up by 500 per cent, read a press release from the Ami Probashi on Tuesday.
Ami Probashi provides online BMET databank registration, job search, prioritised Covid vaccine registration, and many other features for migrant workers. The app contributed TK 17 crore in revenue to the government exchequer, the release added.
Laborers currently make up 26 per cent of the app’s user base, followed by drivers at 9 per cent, salesmen 6 per cent, hotel boys 6 per cent, businessmen 5 per cent, cleaners at 5 per cent, office assistants 4 per cent, electricians 4 per cent, construction workers 3 per cent, and computer operators 2 per cent.
The users are gradually leaning towards this app for availing hassle-free services from the comfort of their homes without having to travel to physical offices, saving time, money, and effort in the process.
The app was launched on May 2021 aiming to reduce complexities and challenges prevailing in the migration process, and to guide and facilitate Bangladeshi citizens wishing to pursue a job abroad.

Aspiring migrants can search for government approved jobs and access numerous legitimate recruiting agencies for interviews, appointments, and direct communication by installing the app. The app does not originate or post jobs by themselves.
