Ecr passport for Indian student studying in US school

Upvote:2

The Emigration Check Required (ECR) category was created by the Indian Government to ensure that workers from India are not being tricked to work in exploitative conditions in certain countries. This list of countries includes: United Arab Emirates (UAE), The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Malaysia, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, Sudan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Syria, Lebanon, Thailand, Iraq. Having a ECR passport means that going to these countries on a work visa requires a special permit from the Office of the Protector General of Emigrants of the Ministry of External Affairs.

As you can see, this is a requirement solely created to be use by Indian government bodies, and has no bearing on your son's studies in the United States. This is because of the following reasons:

  • The United States cannot enforce an Indian government regulation.
  • The United States is not on the list of ECR countries.
  • Your son is not going to any of the 18 above mentioned countries to work, but only going to the United States to study.
