The Government has decided to further liberalize emigration clearance procedures for those seeking jobs abroad. This is in recognition of the need to tackle the growing unemployment and under-employment in the country. The Ministry of Labour has decided in consultation with the Ministry of External Affairs that some more categories of persons will not have to take emigration clearance from the Protectors of Emigrants. They may get their passports endorsed as Emigration Check Not Required (ECNR) from the concerned Regional Passport Offices. These categories include persons with 10+2 qualifications, those possessing two years’ diploma from many institute recognized by the National Council for Vocational Training or State Council of Vocational Training, persons aged 50 years and above and children below 18 provided they are accompanied by both their parents.
