Gulf Job Document Checklist
What every Gulf-bound Indian worker needs, plus what's genuinely different by destination country — medical test timing, labour authority, and processing time.

✅ Needed for every GCC country

  • Valid passport (at least 6 months validity remaining)
  • ECR emigration clearance via eMigrate.gov.in, if you hold an ECR-category passport
  • Signed employment contract from your agency/employer
  • Passport-size photographs (destination country's specified format)
  • Pravasi Bharatiya Bima Yojana (PBBY) insurance — mandatory for ECR-category workers
  • Wafid/GAMCA medical fitness certificate — except UAE, see below
⚠ī¸ Important: Visa and medical requirements change and can vary further by job category (e.g. domestic work vs. skilled labour). This checklist reflects the general process for ECR-category workers as of 2026 — always confirm your specific requirements with your registered recruiting agency and the relevant embassy/consulate before finalising travel.
