How To Apply For Outpass In UAE?

“Lost your passport while you were in the UAE? Here’s how Indians can get an “outpass,” or Emergency Certificate.“

It can be scary to lose your passport, especially if you are in a different country. But if you find yourself in a similar situation, you should first contact the embassy or consulate of your home country. They make it easier for people from that country to travel.

If you are a non-resident Indian (NRI) living in the UAE and you need to go to India, or if you are an Indian tourist in the UAE and you have lost your passport, you can ask the Indian Embassy for an Emergency Certificate, which is also called an “outpass.”

On Tuesday, July 5, the Indian Embassy in the UAE posted on Twitter about the Emergency Certificate service to let Indians living in the UAE know about it.

So, if you need to go back to India but don’t have your passport because you lost it or it ran out, here’s everything you need to know about getting an Emergency Certificate.

What is an Emergency Certificate?

Indian citizens who are living abroad and don’t have a valid travel document with them can use the Emergency Certificate to make a one-way trip back to India. Most of the time, this certificate is given to Indians who have lost their passports abroad.
