In 2008, Ministry of Justice of South Korea ceased the protocol of visa exemption. It is decided in that temporary residents from Bangladesh have been over 13,000 through South Korea. Both nations should get permission from each country to enter from July 15, 2008.[1]

In South Korea, there are more than 13,000 Bangladeshi foreign workers in the country. A significant number of them are temporary immigrants.[2] This has led to some prejudice towards Bangladeshi expatriates, an issue recently tackled by the 2009 South Korean film Bandhobi, directed by Sin Dong-il.[3][4]
