eMigrate System
As per the Ministry of External Affairs India, starting from January 1, 2019, registration with eMigrate system is mandatory for all Indian nationals holding an employment visa in all the 18-emigration check required (ECR) countries including Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. Expats with a valid employment visa have to register on the portal www.emigrate.gov.in while dependents and people on investor visas were exempted from the registrations.
All Indian expatriates working in Saudi Arabia have to do this mandatory one-time registration. Failure to register will result in the off-loading of unregistered Indians at all international airports across India, starting January 1, 2019.
The applicant must register on the eMigrate website either 21 days or 24-hours before travel. It is a one-time registration.
