Bangladesh–South Korea relations (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ-দক্ষিণ কোরিয়া সম্পর্ক; Hangul: 방글라데시-대한민국 관계) refer to the diplomatic and bilateral relations between the countries of Bangladesh and South Korea. In 1974, South Korea opened its embassy in the capital Dhaka, with the latter nation opening its embassy in 1987.

History

In 2008, the Ministry of Justice of South Korea ceased the protocol of visa exemption. It was decided that because the amount of temporary residents from Bangladesh reached over 13,000 throughout South Korea, both nations should get permission from each country to enter from 15 July 2008 onwards.

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