Indian expats relieved as eMigrate put on hold

Indian expats working in Oman have expressed relief at the delay in the eMigrate system, which was supposed to come into effect from January 1, 2019.
The system, which require Indian expats working in 18 specified countries to register at least 24 hours before travelling, was set up to ensure they are fairly treated.
Failure to do so would result in passengers not being allowed to board their aircraft.
But expats who attempted to sign up faced a host of difficulties, chief among which was the inability to register without an Indian SIM card or mobile number.
