How do I get a job abroad through Nasrec?
Send us your CV or message us on WhatsApp. We get to know you, check your documents, match you to a real role with a real employer abroad, prepare you for the interview, and once you are offered the job we handle your paperwork and travel end to end.
Which countries does Nasrec recruit for?
We recruit Indian workers for employers across the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait) and Europe. The mix of countries changes with client demand, so check the open roles page or ask us.
What kinds of jobs and sectors are available?
Across 17 sectors, including construction, hospitality and catering, healthcare and caregiving, logistics and warehousing, security, facilities management, manufacturing, oil and gas support and office administration. Roles run from helper and semi-skilled grades through to skilled trades and supervisors. The open roles page lists what is live now, and it changes as vacancies open and close.
Can I apply from anywhere in India?
Yes. We recruit across India, from every state and union territory. Everything starts with a call, a WhatsApp message or a CV, and interviews with employers are usually held on video. Where you live does not decide whether you are considered. Your trade, your experience and your documents do.
How long does it take to be placed and travel?
It depends on the role, the country and your documents. Once you are selected and your papers are in order, the medical, visa and emigration steps typically take a few weeks. We tell you what happens next at every stage.
How do I know the job and the contract are real?
You interview with the employer directly, so you meet the people you will work for. You then read and understand your contract, the role, the pay, the hours, the leave and the accommodation, in plain language, before you agree to anything. If any line is unclear, ask us and we explain it.
What documents will I need?
A valid passport, your education and trade certificates, experience letters from past employers, and passport photographs. Depending on the country you will also need a medical test at an approved centre and attestation of your certificates. We check your set at the start and tell you plainly what is missing.
How much validity should my passport have?
Enough to cover the visa and the whole contract, with room to spare. A passport close to expiry can stop a visa from being issued, and a renewal in the middle of the process changes your passport number and delays everything. If yours expires within the year, start the renewal now.
How do I know if my passport is ECR or Non-ECR?
Turn to the page near the back of your passport, below your address details. If it says Emigration Check Required, your passport is ECR. If that line is not printed, it is Non-ECR, which older passports call ECNR. We check this with you at the very start.
What is emigration clearance, and does it apply to me?
It is a check the Government of India runs before a person with an ECR passport takes up work in one of the countries on its ECR list. All six Gulf countries are on that list. It is filed through the eMigrate system, and we prepare and file it with you.
Do I need a medical test, and where is it done?
For Gulf jobs, yes. The test is done at a centre approved for workers heading to the GCC, booked through the Wafid system that people still call GAMCA. The centre records your general health, takes samples and a chest X-ray, and sends the result to the destination country.
What happens if my medical result is not fit?
That application cannot go ahead, because the destination country will not issue a visa on an unfit result. It says nothing about your skill or your work. Some conditions are temporary and clear on a later test, and the tests differ between countries and sectors. Tell us and we will say honestly what is still open.
What is a trade test?
A short practical check of the skill you say you have. The employer or a testing centre gives you a real task from the job, such as a weld, a wiring connection or a pipe joint, and an assessor watches how you work. Safety and accuracy count as much as speed.
How do I prepare for a trade test?
Ask which trade and which grade the test covers, then practise that exact task. Wear and use the safety equipment, keep your work area clear, and measure twice before you cut or joint. Take your certificates and experience letters, and reach the centre early enough to start calmly.
What if I have experience but no trade certificate?
You can still be put forward. Many skilled and semi-skilled roles are filled on the strength of a trade test rather than a certificate. Send your experience letters, an identity card from a past employer, or photographs of your work, and we will arrange a test in your trade.
How will the interview happen?
Usually as a short video call with the employer, and sometimes with a supervisor from the site on the call. Some roles add a practical trade test before or after. We tell you in advance who will be on the call, how long it usually runs and what that employer focuses on.
What should I ask the employer during the interview?
Ask about the site, the shift pattern, the hours and the rest day. Ask about the accommodation, the transport to work and whether meals are provided. Ask how long the contract runs and how leave works. Asking clear questions shows you are thinking about doing the job properly.
What happens once I am selected?
You receive a written offer setting out the role, the hours, the leave, the accommodation and the term. Nothing moves until you have read it and agreed. After that come the medical, the employer's visa steps, emigration clearance where it applies, and travel, in that order.
What should I check in my contract before I agree?
Check the job title and the work you are actually being hired to do, the hours and the rest day, the leave, the length of the contract, the accommodation and the transport. Read it in full. If any line is unclear, ask us and we will explain it in plain words.
Do my certificates need attestation?
Sometimes. Attestation is how one country confirms to another that a certificate is genuine. Many semi-skilled Gulf roles do not need it, while most European and professional roles do. It takes time, so we start it early when the role calls for it and tell you exactly which papers to send.
Who arranges my travel?
We do, once your visa and clearance are in place. You are told your travel date in advance, what to carry in your hand baggage, and who will meet you at the other end. We stay reachable on the day you fly, not only before it.
What support do I get after I land?
Someone meets you when you arrive. In the first weeks we stay close while you settle into the accommodation and the team, and we keep checking in long after you start. If something is not as it was described to you, tell us and we take it up with the employer.
What if something goes wrong while I am abroad?
Call us first. Someone on our team knows your name and your case. You can also reach the Indian Embassy or Consulate in the country you are working in, and the Government of India runs the MADAD portal for consular help. We tell you all of this before you fly.
Do I need to speak English well?
It depends on the role. Many site and workshop jobs need only enough English to follow instructions and safety terms. Supervisory, hospitality and healthcare roles need more. We tell you what a role expects before the interview, and we never put you in front of an employer unprepared.
How do I contact Nasrec?
By phone, on WhatsApp, or through the forms on this site. Submit your CV through the apply form and we review every one with care. If you would rather ask a question first, message us on WhatsApp. We reply within one business day.
How does Nasrec work for employers?
You share your requirement, the roles, headcount, location and start date. We come back with realistic salary bands and timelines, recruit and shortlist candidates across India, share those CVs, line up interviews at your convenience, and once you choose we handle documentation and travel end to end.
Which sectors does Nasrec recruit for?
17 sectors and more, including construction and infrastructure, hospitality, healthcare and caregiving, logistics, security, facilities management, manufacturing, oil and gas support and office administration. We recruit helper, semi-skilled, skilled and supervisory grades within each of them. If your requirement is not on the list, tell us anyway and we will say honestly whether we can fill it.
Which countries do you place workers in?
Employers across the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait) and Europe. Each corridor has its own documentation path, its own medical and permit steps and its own lead time, and we manage all of that from India for you.
What should our brief include?
Job titles and headcount per title, the site and the country, the shift pattern, the start date, and what is provided such as accommodation, transport and meals. Add the trade standard and any certification you need. The clearer the brief, the closer the first shortlist lands.
How do you source and shortlist candidates?
We recruit across India through our own candidate base and local networks in the trades you need. Applications are shortlisted against your brief for the trade, the years of experience, the documents and availability. You receive a shortlist with profiles, experience and test results rather than a stack of CVs.
How are candidates trade-tested?
By a practical task drawn from your job, at a testing centre or a workshop, watched by an assessor. We record the grade, the method and the safety habits, not only the finished piece. Where you prefer, the test is run on video so your own supervisor can watch and grade it.
How do interviews work for us?
Usually on video, scheduled around your working hours and your time zone. You can interview shortlisted candidates one after another in a single block, with a supervisor on the call if you want a technical view. We prepare each candidate on the role beforehand so your time is spent on judgement.
How quickly can you mobilise workers?
It depends on the roles, the destination country and the documentation involved. Gulf corridors usually move faster than European ones, because the permit stages are shorter. We give you a realistic timeline with your shortlist and update it as each candidate clears medicals, visa and emigration steps.
Who handles documentation, medicals and visas?
We do, from our side in India. That covers document checks and attestation where it is needed, the approved-centre medical, the papers your visa process asks for, emigration clearance where it applies, insurance cover and travel. You are told what is outstanding and what is cleared at each stage.
What reporting do we get during mobilisation?
A named contact and a regular written update showing every selected candidate and the stage they are at: documents, medical, visa, clearance, ticket, travel date. If something slips, you hear it from us with the reason and the new date, not after the fact.
What happens if a worker does not work out after arrival?
Tell us early. We look at what went wrong, whether it is the role, the grade or the fit, and we recruit a replacement under the terms agreed in your brief. We also stay in touch with the workers we place, which is usually how we hear about a problem first.
How do we get started?
Send us your brief with the roles, the headcount and the start date you need. We reply with realistic salary bands and lead times, then begin recruiting candidates for you to review and choose. One named contact stays with your requirement from the brief through to arrival.
