visaprocessUAE: ECNR online registration

India has decided to temporarily halt the mandatory online registration of ECNR passport holders with job visas in 18 countries, including GCC countries.

However, all Indians who want to voluntarily register can do so.

Applicants have to furnish personal, visa and travel details, emergency contact details in India and destination country and contact details of foreign employer/sponsor in the destination country.

On successful completion of registration, the applicant will receive an SMS/email.
They need to re-register only if their work visa has changed when they visit India again.

Indians already working in these countries also can register when they visit their home country.

Only one-time registration is required as long as an Indian remains on the same company’s employment visa. It is not necessary to register every time one goes back home unless there is a change in visa.

Emigration Clearance Required (ECR) passport holders who change their passport status to ECNR after three years of overseas employment will also have to complete the ECNR registration.

People already on employment visa have to register only while they are on a visit to India and before flying back to their country of residence on an employment visa.

The online form could be accessed only from India by using a one-time password which will be sent to an India mobile number fed by the applicant.

Investor visa holders and Dependents of Indian expatriates working in foreign countries need not register on the e-migrate platform. Spouses or children who have jobs, but are on a dependent visa, need not register on the platform.

Indian mobile number must for registration
Since a one-time password (OTP) is required to complete the registration on the platform, expatriates are required to use an Indian mobile number to finish the formality. It is not required that the SIM card is registered under your name. As long as it is an Indian number, it is fine.
