The Bangladeshi expatriates working in Saudi Arabia face a major hassle of translating the Arabic part of their visas into English just to know the date of their departure, when they intend to leave the host country.

In a visa of Saudi Arabia everything is written in English below the Arabic version, except the departure date, unlike the visas of other countries, in which all information is given in English.

When the expatriates go to the Bangladesh office there to confirm their air tickets, they are required to get their visas translated into English just to know the departure date, as no Bangladeshi official posted there can read Arabic, sources said.
