      You can get emigration clearance from PoE office, if you don’t have enough time.
      You can apply online here: http://www.poeonline.gov.in/

    • Minhaj says

      no problem, it will not take that much time, you take bank statement of 12 to 14 months, and pan card or any supportive documents, and ssc and passport with same spells, manage police for verification urgent, if old verification is okay it no need to further inquiry, then you will receive the passport in (3) days, or it will take 6 to 8 days only.

  3. Md.Asad says

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Md Asad
      From PoE, it may take 1-3 days.
      You would need following documents for emigration clearance at PoE office:
      1. Passport (valid atleast for six months)
      2. Valid Employment Visa
      3. Contract Duly Signed by Foreign Employer
      4. Valid Pravasi Bhartiya Bima Policy 2006
      5. Affidavit from Candidate Declaring Genuineness of Documents

    Hi Pankaj Batra ,

    We stay in Bangalore . Please let me know the Procedure taht i have follow to get a ECR Clearance.

    Regards,

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Hemanth
      If she is not traveling on employment visa, she does not need ECNR status.
      In case she is going for job, she can get ECNR status on passport by applying for reissue of passport.

  5. Md.Asad says

    Dear sir,
    Sorry sir,I don’t understand what is Pravasi Bhartiya Bima Policy 2006,
    Because I have no any Bima policy,

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Md.Asad
      You should buy this policy before emigration clearance from PoE office.

      @Shabbir
      This page is about ECR/ECNR queries and we have little knowledge on passport name issues.
      Please contact any passport agent and he may be able to help you out.

  11. Nitish says

    does re stamping for ECR after crossing the age of 18 involve reissuing of the passport all together or is it done in the same existing passport?
