Verify the recruiter
Check current registration through eMigrate. Avoid unregistered agents and sub-agents, and obtain a receipt for every payment.
Safer migration, step by step
Pause. Verify.
Protect.
A safer journey begins before the ticket is booked. Verify the job, prepare documents and contacts, and know your choices if the workplace or accommodation becomes unsafe.
Pre-departure checklist
Make the important checks while you still have choices.
For Indian workers, some clearance and insurance requirements apply only to covered passports, destinations and jobs. Confirm your case through official channels.
Verify the job
Contact the employer through independently confirmed details. Match the job, worksite and employer to the written offer.
Use the correct visa
Travel for work on the correct employment or work visa, not a tourist visa. Complete required clearance before booking when applicable.
Read the contract
Confirm pay, hours, overtime, deductions, leave, food, housing, insurance, travel and termination terms.
Make secure copies
Keep paper and digital copies of the passport, visa, contract, receipts, tickets, insurance and employer address.
Build a contact plan
Save local emergency services, embassy, labour authority, IMWPS and family contacts in more than one place.

Daily protection
Pay attention to what changes after arrival.
Keep records only when it is safe. Immediate health or physical danger comes before documentation.
AT WORK
Know the hazard and the protection.
Ask for training you understand and appropriate protective equipment. Record missing equipment, injuries, unsafe instructions, shifts and overtime.
- Report urgent hazards early.
- Seek medical care after injury or exposure.
- Keep incident and treatment details.
WHERE YOU LIVE
Housing should not trap or endanger you.
Watch for blocked exits, unsafe wiring, severe overcrowding, missing water or sanitation, isolation and restrictions on leaving.
- Know the nearest safe public place.
- Keep documents and phone accessible.
- Tell a trusted person your address.
If something goes wrong
Move toward safety, then explain the problem.
Do not confront a dangerous person alone. Use a safe phone or device if you think yours is monitored.
Leave immediate danger
Go to a safe public place, medical facility or trusted person where possible.
Call local emergency services
For violence, confinement, a medical emergency, fire or immediate threat.
Contact trusted support
Reach your embassy or consulate, labour authority, union or verified worker service.
Share essential facts
Your safe location, employer, passport details, medical needs and a safe callback method.
