Emmigration
As per the Emigration Act, 1983, certain categories of Indian passport holders require to obtain "Emigration Clearance" from the office of Protector of Emigrants (POE) for going to certain countries.As per the Emigration Act, "emigration" means the leaving of India of any Indian citizen with the intent of taking up employment in a foreign country.
All Indian passports are divided into two categories as follows:
- Passports with endorsement - Emigration Check Required (ECR).
- Passports with endorsement - Emigration Check Not Required (ECNR).
For passports issued in or after January 2007, no notation in the passport means ECNR. If Emigration Check is Required, there will be an endorsement in the passport regarding ECR.
The idea behind ECR is for the safety of Indian citizens due to the legal conditions of other countries and is based on various situations/conditions. so.. in order for smooth travel we air travel & tours undertake for the clearance of emmigration..
