Saudi-bound workers will have to count extra money for mandatory quarantine upon reaching their destinations, resulting in the increase in migration cost further, sector insiders said.

According to them,additional Tk 30,000-60,000 will be needed for availing quarantine facilities for each of the workers to Saudi Arabia.

Airlines will take the rent of hotels with ticket fare. So, the cost of tickets will increase further. Currently, the air ticket fare is varying from Tk 70,000 to Tk 80,000 each.

Therefore, the workers will have to spend more than Tk 500,000 each as migration cost. Currently, a worker spends Tk 350,000 to 450,000 to go for jobs in the Arab country, manpower recruiters said.
