I got my passport issued last month itself, and i dont have the ecnr stamp on the same. Do i still need it?

Question

I did consult few travel agents but all gave me an unsatisfied answer and i am unable to get in touch with the passport officers. What should i do?

Answer 1

While filling up the passport application form, you have to choose the ECNR option. It is recommended that you select the ECNR option but you have to provide the original degree along with application. Else you have to undergo emigration check at all airports. In some countries this check is not required if your passport says ECNR. It hardly makes much difference.

Answer 2

what country was passport issued in. I never heard of a ecnr stamp?

Answer 3

Recently they have abolished this ecnr requirement.

Answer 4

I'm sorry i never heard ECNR...

Answer 5

If no stamp, It is deemed ECNR.

Answer 6

If you have received a small instruction card in your Passport then it mentions if there is no stamp on the particular page,  it is assumed EC not required. I am sure you too must have received the small leaflet within the passport, that is if you have cleared the formalities of the ECNR status.

Answer 7

Hey don't worry about that ECNR!

It is no more required. All thanks to the NRI Minister, who has influenced a lot to waive this requirement. So all new passports will not have ECNR / ECR stamp.

Answer 8

ECNR would mean Emigration check Not Required. it seems that you have not made request in the passport application. Certain class of persons are omitted from emigration check.

Despite the lapse also you can travel abroad. if you feel that, it is necessary, file an application for correction in passport to the Regional Passport Officer, if you satisfy the criteria.
