    You should get passport reissued for ECNR status.
    This page has document list required for same: http://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/onlineHtml/NonEcrDocuments.html

    You can get emigration clearance from PoE office, if you don’t have time for passport reissue for ECNR status.
  • @Moosa
    No ECR endorsement means ECNR status by default.
  • @Ali
    Yes, you would need ECNR status as you are going on employment visa.
  • @Md Asad
    You can submit any other eligibility document for ECNR status.

    There might be some issue with ITR excel.
    You can try filing online using Quick file ITR link on efiling website (https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/)
    Its an online process and there is no need to download and fill excel.

    Only amount upto Rs 3 lakhs would be non-taxable, amount above it would be added to taxable income.
  • File Income Tax Return Online
    @Anand
    In case you only have exempted income and no taxable income, then there is no need to file income tax return.
    Still if you wish to file, You should use ITR-2 form and fill this exempt income in EI sheet.

    my passport was issued in march 2006. on the ECNR page there is Passport office stamp and PAssport officers stamp and signature.

    They have put dash on the ECR paragraph (bangla, pal etc) and have not touch ECNR (text).

    does this mean I do not ECNR. is ECNR stamp special one or just passport office stamp

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Dpkrjptl
      Most provably passport is with ECNR status as ECR has been cut-off.

    Hi my parents have visiting visa to USA and they will be visiting my in july, my mom passport has ecr stamp and my dad doesn’t have any stamps at all. Does they need to do anything they are jsut visting USA…. and will be transiting in doha..

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Sridhar
      For visiting USA, ECNR/ECR does not matter.
      Transiting Doha won’t be an issue either as they are not going to Doha for employment.

      Your new passport is with ECNR status by virtue of no ECR mention.

      @Kris
      No ECR/ECNR mention means ECNR by default. So no need to get any further such stamp.

    Dear Pankaj,
    My son aged 11 having ECNR with a condition says, “ECNR granted till he attains18 years of age and provided he is accompanied by any or both parents”.
    My wife and me are residing in UAE and he is studying in India. He is having valid UAE residency Visa. Is there any possibility for him to travel alone to UAE during his school holidays.
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks
    Benny

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Benny
      I think he won’t have any issue as he already has residency visa.

  12. Dhananjay says

    Hi Pankaj,
    I have applied to H1B category visa for USA this year. I have passport issued in 2008 and there is a stamp of ECR on page 2, Now do I need ECNR for getting my visa stamping.

    Please advice.

    Thanks,
    Dhananjay

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Dhananjay
      For USA, ECNR is not required. So it does not matter what ECR/ECNR stamp you have on passport, there would not be any issue in USA visa because of that.

      • dhananjay says

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @P Rajesh
      You can go to any country as tourist with ECR passport. You would need return tickets, valid visit visa and passport.

  14. amit says

    Hi Pankaj,
    I was working in dubai but got my visa cancelled and have got offer from new company, but for applying for my new visa they are asking for ECNR stamp on my passport.

    Do i still require a stamp and will i be able to get a stamp of ECNR from delhi passport office and how much time it takes to get the stamp and what all documents i need to submit other than my degree and bank statement.

    kindly reply on urgent basis

  15. paru says

    hi pankaj

    pls help me with this query. I received an entry permit from my employer in dubai..it contains my old passport number which did not have ecnr. Now i have applied for a new passport with ecnr. Will my entry permit become invalid now? no other details are changed. only the passport number will change.

    • Trav says

      You can travel without any problem. I had same issue as yours. My visa had old passport number which had ECR. I got new passport & didnt face any problem travelling. Remember to carry both passports.

  16. Wasim says

    Dear Pankaj,

    My Brother passport was issued in October 2003 and having ECR Status on his passport. I have already got his Bahrain employment visa on his ECR Status passport.

    What are procedures of getting ECNR Stamp on his passport?
    My brother enquired in passport office thane, but they said him that they will re-issue new passport with new issue date and expiry date on new passport book.

    This new information will not match with visa details? Please assist me in finding out the way out.

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Wasim
      Passport needs to be re-issued for ECNR status.
      Procedure for it is same as a new passport application.
      Visa on old passport would still be valid and he needs to carry both new and old passports.

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Amarjit
      She won’t need ECNR if she is not traveling on employment visa.

  18. George says

    I am George Babu. I am in Dubai withpermenant partner visa.I take emigration clerance that stamped in my passport.but now i cancelled my visa and take new one that also permenant partner visa.my ECNR has three year validity.in this situation i need to stamp new ECNR or not,if i need it can i take it from Dubai,otherwise i will face any problem in indian emigration departmeny.

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @George
      If your emigration clearance still has validity, there won’t be any need to get it again. Just make sure that clearance stamping is not only valid for that previous visa.

  19. Shreyas says

    I have got a job in Dubai and also received my visa today. I have the ECR status (ECNR is cancelled on page 2). I need to travel this weekend for the job. Is it possible to get a one-time ECNR clearance from POE office? What are the documents required?

    • Shreyas says

      And mainly how long does it take to get the ECNR stamp?. I am from Mumbai..

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Shreyas
      You can try getting emigration clearance from PoE office. I am not really sure about time it takes.
      ECNR status would need re-issue of passport and that would take atleast 30-45 days under normal conditions.

      • Shreyas says

        I have applied for passport re-issue as of now. But I am facing a new worry now. My work visa is on the current passport. I will get a new passport after re-issuing. So will the visa be valid then?

        • Pankaj Batra says

          @Shreyas
          Visa on old passport would remain valid. You need to carry both passports together.
