Overseas Property Management Agreement
Overseas Property Management Agreement — this contract typically follows the general framework of this category in Bangladesh. Expatriate and manpower agreements in Bangladesh — overseas job agency contracts, manpower recruitment agreements, expatriate powers of attorney (for property, banking, or family matters at home), remittance-handling arrangements, work-visa sponsorships, and overseas property-management contracts — sit at the intersection of Bangladeshi law, the destination country's immigration rules, and the recruitment agency's licensing conditions. The single biggest source of expatriate disputes is a mismatch between what the agency promised orally and what the written contract actually says; getting a fully-detailed written contract before paying any recruitment fee is the single most important protection an aspiring migrant worker has.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a digital agreement on ChuktiQ legally valid in Bangladesh?
- Yes — Sections 6 and 7 of the ICT Act, 2006 give electronic records and OTP-verified electronic signatures the same legal recognition as their paper equivalents. Two important exceptions apply: (a) documents that a specific statute requires to be executed on non-judicial stamp paper or registered — such as land sale / transfer deeds under the Registration Act — still need that stamp / registration in addition to the digital record; and (b) family-law instruments (marriage, divorce, will) follow their own governing statutes. Where either exception applies to your specific agreement, ChuktiQ shows a clear notice on that page.
- What stamp duty and registration apply to this type of agreement?
- That depends on the specific instrument type and, for many instruments, the amount involved — the Stamp Act, 1899 and the Registration Act, 1908 supply the rules. Most ordinary private contracts (loan notes, service agreements, MOUs, NDAs, general contracts) run on Tk. 300 non-judicial stamp with no registration. Certain instrument types have higher requirements — partnership deeds, sale or purchase of immovable property, leases longer than one year, gift deeds, powers of attorney used for property transfer, and others. Before executing this specific agreement, confirm the correct stamp denomination and any registration formality with a lawyer, especially if any significant value or long-term commitment is involved.
