How to become a member

Go to the Become a Member page. You will see the ways to join BSSAJ — pick Agency to register a study-abroad agency.

Only three fields are required: your agency name, a contact email and the director’s name.

Everything else — logo, cover photo, phone, address, website, year established, description and success-story photos — is optional here and can be added later from your dashboard. Adding them now simply means less to do after approval.

The moment you submit, we create your agency profile and your owner account together, and the application goes into the review queue.

You do not need to sign up separately — and you should not, because a second account under the same email cannot be created.

Our team checks your agency details — name, director, address, website and how to reach you.

If something is unclear or missing we will contact you at the email address you gave, so please keep an eye on it during this period.

Once approved, your agency becomes a BSSAJ member agency and starts appearing on the public Agencies page. Your account is upgraded so you can manage the agency yourself.

Log in and open your dashboard. A checklist walks you through everything that makes your public page worth visiting: logo, cover photo, a description of at least 50 characters, full contact details, and at least one success story.

You never tick anything off yourself — each item turns green as soon as you have done it, and the checklist folds away once you reach the end.

Alongside the agency, a member profile is created for the director. Once we approve it, the director appears on the public Members page, linked to the agency.

You can also add your colleagues to your agency’s team section from your dashboard.

Membership is kept active by your subscription. You submit the payment details from your dashboard, and BSSAJ confirms them.

If a subscription lapses, the agency card is hidden from the public list until it is renewed — the profile and all its content stay exactly as they were.

Your agency now has its own page on bssaj.org with a shareable link and a preview card for Facebook. Students browsing the Agencies page can find you, and you can start posting jobs and blogs.

Keep your profile fresh — an up-to-date page with recent success stories is what turns a visit into an enquiry.

The fee is paid once — there is no yearly subscription. Pay in the country you are in:

From Bangladesh — BDT 7,500

• Bank — The City Bank, Bogra branch
• Account name — MD NAZIM UDDIN
• Account number — 2303094895001
• Routing number — 225100372

From Japan — ¥10,000

• Bank — みずほ銀行 (Mizuho Bank)
• Branch code (店番号) — 685 (大分 / オオイタ)
• Account number (口座番号) — 1668363
• Account name (名義) — ナガマツ　ファルク

Keep your deposit slip or transfer record. If the sender's name differs from your own, write it on the form in the next step so the office can match your payment.

Open Become a Member and choose Executive Member. Fill in your agency's details and your own — the agency name, the director's name, a contact email and phone.

The form is on this site now — there is no Google Form to open and no separate document to email. Only three fields are required; the logo, cover photo, address and the rest can be added later from your dashboard.

At the end of the form you agree to two things:

• Member Commitment Letter — that you accept BSSAJ's aims and code of conduct.
• Confidentiality & Code of Conduct — that you keep internal matters confidential, behave responsibly on social media, and do not spread unverified information.

Read them first, then tick both boxes. Your agreement is recorded with the date and time you submitted.

The office checks your details against the fee received and, where relevant, with the organising secretary. This is a human step, so it is not instant.

Once approved you become an executive member: your name joins the members page, and you can take part in the decisions and votes that executive members take part in.

Open Become a Member and choose Associate Member. Fill in your agency's details and your own — the agency name, the director's name, a contact email and phone.

There is no fee. Associate members are BSSAJ's supporters: you stand behind the association's work and are counted among its members.

At the end of the form you agree to the Member Commitment Letter — that you accept BSSAJ's aims, objectives and code of conduct. Read it first, then tick the box.

The office reads what you sent and approves it, or contacts you if something needs clarifying.

BSSAJ gives every associate member a unique ID, which is what the associate-member benefits are given against. To receive yours, contact the organising secretary on WhatsApp +818047771677 or on Facebook.

Executive members take an active part in BSSAJ: they vote and help set its policy. Read about both memberships, then start from Become a Member or ask the organising secretary.

Official notices and discussions happen here. Join both so you do not miss anything.

• BSSAJ Facebook page
• BSSAJ WhatsApp group

If any step is unclear or something does not work, message the organising secretary on WhatsApp +818047771677. You do not need to start over — tell us where you got to.
