Where We Recruit From
EMIGRATLY recruits across India, with the strongest candidate volume from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, and Telangana — states with long-established histories of overseas labor migration, particularly to the Gulf.
Our TAPS specialists work across India's major regional languages, not just Hindi and English, so your registration and every step after it can happen in a language you're comfortable in.
Why Our Candidates Choose Overseas Work
Overseas work remains one of the most reliable paths to significantly higher pay than equivalent roles in India's domestic labor market, particularly in construction, hospitality, and skilled trades. India is the world's largest single recipient of remittances, a scale that reflects just how established and normal this path is for millions of families.
The Emigration Process
Emigration clearance
Whether you need formal Emigration Check Required (ECR) clearance depends on your passport category and destination country. Candidates requiring ECR clearance apply through the Ministry of External Affairs' eMigrate portal and, where needed, a Protector of Emigrants (POE) office — your TAPS specialist confirms exactly what applies to your passport and destination before you're matched, and handles the paperwork with you.
Licensed recruitment
EMIGRATLY's India operations work within India's recruitment-licensing framework — we never charge placement fees disguised as "processing," and every employer contract is verified directly before any candidate is matched.
Documents You'll Need
- Valid passport: with at least 6 months' validity at the time of travel
- Educational certificates: highest qualification plus any trade/vocational certificates
- Police clearance certificate (PCC): from your local police station or passport office
- Medical fitness certificate: from a GCC-approved medical center where your destination requires one (GAMCA-approved centers for most GCC destinations)
- ECR/ECNR status: confirmed on your passport, checked as part of your intake
Where Our Candidates Go
Indian candidates registered with EMIGRATLY are placed most heavily into GCC construction, specialized trades, facility management, and security roles, with growing demand in warehousing and logistics and healthcare support. See the Sectors pages for role-level detail.
