Tips
- You can get an agent who'll do all the hassles for you. You'll find them standing outside the building waiting for customers. Don't forget to bargain. They'll take extra 500BDT to 1000 BDT depending on your task. Though this is not the best approach but they can do this while you're busy doing something more important than standing in a never-ending-queue.Thanks
