Mandatory Repatriation Process

It has been a long standing process that requires foreign nationals to register with the FRRO/FRO when they are going to be working in India for a long term.  The entity that sponsors the visa is required to give an undertaking to the FRRO/FRO on behalf of the foreign national "to ensure good conduct of the foreign national during his/her stay in India." 

Until recently there was no formal notification regarding repatriation to de-register the foreign national employees when they ended their employment and/or left the country for good.  We at LawQuest have always advised our clients to complete a repatriation process whereby the company's liability that arose because of the undertaking is terminated.
