About this tool

Contact directory for Bangladesh missions across the Gulf: the Riyadh Embassy and Jeddah Consulate for Saudi Arabia, and the Abu Dhabi Embassy and Dubai Consulate for the UAE — consular counters, welfare-wing hotlines and the regions each mission covers. Details are verified against official mission announcements; confirm current hours before visiting.

Wage Earners' Welfare Board (WEWB) hotlines — 24/7: direct dial assistance for hospital emergencies, repatriation of deceased expatriates, and consular legal aid.

Before you travel to the mission

The mission is the only office that can renew your passport, issue a new e-passport, record a newborn's NVR or attest a power of attorney for use back home. Keep three things ready before any visit: your existing passport or NID, the exact fee in local currency, and a completed application form downloaded from the mission's website. Many Riyadh desks take walk-ins only in the morning, with afternoons reserved for collections.

For emergencies — a lost passport, a welfare case, an accident at work — phone the duty number before travelling to the mission: many cases are handled by phone or referred to community organizations that can act faster than a consulate queue.

Frequently asked questions

What does the welfare wing actually do?

Bangladesh missions' welfare wings help with labour disputes, unpaid wages, exit clearance problems and repatriation emergencies. Keep their hotline from the directory saved before you need it.

Is there a 24-hour emergency contact?

The Riyadh Embassy and Jeddah Consulate publish after-hours welfare numbers for genuine emergencies, while the UAE missions route urgent cases through their labour wings. The directory marks which line is which.
