What's the difference between ECR and ECNR on an Indian passport, and who needs it?
Indian passports are categorized as ECR (Emigration Check Required) or ECNR (Emigration Check Not Required). This system aims to protect Indian workers abroad from exploitation. While ECR passports require clearance for employment in specific countries, both categories allow international travel for tourism, studies, and other non-employment purposes without emigration clearance.
