Hi Ros, ECNR is for those Indian citizens who wish to clear immigration check in an Indian port. If you are already in New Zealand as you have mentioned, you don’t need to get ECNR.

For worry free ECNR, do ask the officials when you apply for re-issue of the new passport. They will tell you how your passport can be endorsed with ECNR.

Hi Rajesh, Thailand issues ‘Visa on arrival’ and you don’t need to get the clearance from POE. However, to make sure, just confirm with the travel agent from where you are going to buy the tickets.

Hi Panky, it depends on countries. For Certain countries ECNR is not required even if their passports are ECR, but not all countries. To get permanent ECNR it must be applied from where the passports are issued. Otherwise, they can also get one time ECNR every time they leave the country from POE. The address and details are already given above.

Hi Veera Prasad, for one time ECNR, you don’t need many days, one day is enough. ECNR is for someone like her who is uneducated. She must go to POE in Hyderabad with her Visa, PP and the confirmed tickets. They will issue her within few minutes provided the queue is short.

Comment from Beita Jr.
Time: November 7, 2009, 3:38 am

Hi kathirvelu, for that kind of situation she must apply “temporary ECNR” from POE. She must take her ticket(s), visa and passport to the POE office and apply. She will be granted “one time ECNR” just for Oman. Everytime she goes abroad she must apply for ECNR again. Wishing you good luck!

Comment from Beita Jr.
Time: November 17, 2009, 8:09 pm

Hi Anoop, ECNR is not required for EU countries excluding CIS countries, for Dubai you will need one. After you get the Visa and tickets, you can go to Protectors of emigrants (addresses given above) and apply for ECNR – don’t forget to take the air tickets, passport with visa and some bucks (less than Rs.500, not sure now). It will take few minutes depending on the length of the queue.

Hi,
My brother completed his plus two and a one year diploma course (Private). Now he got a job in UAE based on the diploma and his experience. What ever documents we need to submit for an POE clearance,…? What is the procedure for that..?

Comment from Beita Jr.
Time: December 8, 2009, 6:14 pm

Hi Jayesh, if his passport is ECR, he can apply for one time ECNR or permanent ECNR. For one time ECNR, he can go and visit POE office closest to him with his Visa (Passport), air tickets, employment documents. One time ECNR is good for one trip to UAE. If he comes home, he must apply again through POE. This takes few hours depending on the length of the Queue. For permanent ECNR, he must apply from the regional passport office that issued him the passport. If he is eligible as per the guide written here http://tinyurl.com/y8n6q9j8 they will tell him how long it is going to take. It can take weeks or several days. If he has less time to do that, he must just apply “one time ECNR from the POE.”

Comment from Beita Jr.
Time: December 8, 2009, 6:20 pm

Hi Fatima, your sister could have applied for ECNR right after her graduation (B.A/B.Com/or equivalent) not waiting for an MBA certificate. Since she needs to travel on 16th Dec, I suggest she applies for “one time ECNR” from a POE nearest to her residence. She must apply for this after she gets her Visa. Visa endorsed Passport, air tickets, and your address in Kuwait will be required for her to fill up the form. Depending on the length of the Queue, she needs to wait. It should be done within few hours. Best of luck..

Dear Beita ,

1) Is it necessary to take ECNR each time when I leave India if I am on the same employment (UAE) Visa..?

2) I was in Dubai till the age of 5 (in mother’s passport). Recently I worked 2 years in Dubai.
I came to know that ..those who stay abroad for more than 3 years are eligible for ECNR enorsement.

In my case it is 5+2 ..am I eligible for ECNR endorsement since I was in mothers passport ?

seeks valuable reply from you.

Thanking you,

Comment from Beita Jr.
Time: December 23, 2009, 3:42 pm

Hi Shahnawaz,

1). Yes – but if the POE office clears you for the duration of your employment there, you don’t need to.
2). Your second question surprises me. Did you get ECNR when you went to Dubai for 2 years? Dubai and UAE are the same for immigration clearance. I’ve never heard that those who stay abroad for more than 3 years are eligible for ECNR endorsement. If you are eligible qualification-wise, it is better to apply permanent ECNR.

Hi Shanawaz, you are right…. it reads like this:
What are the minimum documents required for an ECNR endorsement?
One of the following documents:

* Matriculation (SSLC)/PUC-II / Degree Certificate
* PAN Card
* Annexure ‘I’ if person has stayed abroad for more than 3 years
(Please click here to download format.)

Class 10 certificate or document to proof that the applicant has stayed abroad for more than 3 years are eligible to apply. It doesn’t make more favourable. Both are minimum documents required for obtaining ECNR.

Hi Kiran, even though her passport status is ECR, for the above mentioned countries she does not need to get emigration clearance from the POE. In her kind of case ‘Emigration Check is Required’ only for all countries not mentioned above. In fact, even for the countries not mentioned above – effective of October 2007, a good number of them (countries) were exempted from the same if the purpose of the visit is other than employment.

Hi Rahul, if the emigration status page is blank it means your passport status is ECNR. Lately RPOs issued such passports and have caused confusion for many. You are require to get emigration clearance from POE only if your passport has ECR stamp on it. You are safe!

Hi Adersh, ask your friend whether his passport has ECNR stamp or not. If it has ECR stamp on it or ECNR stike off, he needs to get emigration clearance from POE or get permanent ECNR if he is eligible. The minimum qualification required for ECNR is Class 10 pass certificate. It all depends on the status of his passport.

They will clear it for you within one day. Go visit POE office in Chandigarh or Delhi, the addresses are given above. To apply the clearance you must furnish your Passport with Visa, air tickets, employment letters, and a few bucks.. all the best!

Hi Uma Shankar, you must have applied it with 10th std. certificate long time ago, now the minimum is lowered to 10th std. certificate. You can approach the REgional Passport office once again and furnish any certificate above 10th Std. They will give you ECNR status provided you satisfy them with a good background record.

Hi Anuradha, you can definitely get passport and for Visa, well it depends on the embassy or consulate of the country you are planning to visit. First apply passport from the regional passport office near you and Visa comes later. Good luck!

Comment from Beita Jr.

Hi abdul baqi, you will need ECNR stamp. It takes just few hours at PoE office, you need to provide Visa duly stamped Passport, and the documents showing your admission in the Univ. etc, tickets. You will be issued a temporary ECNR. All the best.
-
Hi Shivakumar, PoE offices cannot issue permanent ECNR. If you’ve got work Visa for S. Arabia, you can either apply temporary ECNR from PoE office in Hyd. or apply permanent ECNR from RPO in the same city. PoE can only stamp temporary ECNR. If you have only one week, you’d better approach the PoE with the documents. Getting permanent ECNR from RPO may take days if not weeks.

Hi Rajan Kumar, the minimum qualification needed for ECNR stamp endorsement on your passport is 10th (HSLC) standard. This came to effect only from October 2007, that’s why many people do not know. You need to apply from the Regional Passport Office (RPO). But this may take time. If you are in a hurry, you should get the clearance for Muscat from the POE near you. POE clearance will take only a day. All the best.

Hi Leo John Paul, the minimum qualification needed for ECNR stamp endorsement on your passport is 10th (HSLC) standard. This came to effect only from October 2007, that’s why many people do not know. In 2005, the minimum qualification was perhaps BA or its equivalent. You need to apply from the Regional Passport Office (RPO). But this may take time. If you are in a hurry, you should get the clearance for Abu Dhabi from the POE near you. POE clearance will take only a day. All the best.

Hi Sameer, simply staying abroad for 3 years does not entitled you an ECNR. You need to apply one. When you do, they will put ECNR stamp on your passport. The minimum qualification requires is only Class 10. Wishing you all the best.

Hi, I am working in Abu Dhabi and planning to sponsor a maid servant from india(TN) and she is willing to work here. how should i proceed, she has ECR stamp on her passport.do i need her to change her status to ECNR from POE. please help.

Hi Matthew, your maid will need to get “temporary emigration clearance” from the POE provided s/he is older than 30 years of age. As per the rules Domestic helpers must be more than 30 years to work abroad. One of Samaw.com users Shri Kumaravelu http://samaw.com/emigration-check-requiredecr-for-indians-going-abroad/299 had such experience. the maid is also from TN coincidentally… Follow the link to read his problems and the comments. POE can only clear the emigration for one time, permanent clearance can be done only by the Regional Passport Office.

Hi Ullas, yes, you can get ECNR endorsement in your passport. Apply it from Regional Passport office near you. If you don’t, you will need to get emigration clearance from POE whenever you visit certain countries.

Hi Harish, lately many passports are issued without any ECNR stamps on it. It means they are ECNR by default. Unless ECR stamp is found in the emigration page, it is the same as ECNR stamp. You are safe. Nothing to worry! Besides, for France emigration check is not required…

Hi Ali, once your family members got visa, they can get temporary emigration clearance from the nearest Protectors of Emigrants (POE) office in India, if their passports are ECR; they will be able to tell you if you need a separate clearance for your child too. Good luck.

@Ahmed, it will take few minutes depending on the length of the queue in the office provided you have all the documents ready. Usually, the clearance from POE is done the same day.. Sorry, we don’t have the phone no. of Hyd POE office.
