War-Zone Expat Relocation and Document Preparation Service
The Opportunity
Escalating conflict in West Asia forces sudden evacuation of Indian expats from Iran, Israel, UAE, and Gulf regions. These individuals need urgent help with visa documentation, travel permits, family relocation logistics, and repatriation paperwork — services currently fragmented across government offices, travel agents, and immigration consultants. No single physical service handles the end-to-end chaos of emergency relocation.

May need to register as an immigration consultant (optional, not mandatory for document prep). Tie-ups with official passport/visa centers recommended but not required.
