Membership
ILSI membership gives migrant workers continuous legal protection and practical support before departure, during overseas employment, and on return home.
ILSI membership is built around the migration journey itself, not a single moment in it. From the day you start preparing to leave home, through every day you work overseas, to the day you return and reinvest — your membership travels with you.
What membership covers
Members receive pre-departure orientation and contract checks, a 24-hour helpline and legal casework while working abroad, and structured reintegration and investment guidance on return. See the journey broken down by stage: before departure, during employment, and return and reintegration.
ILSI offers three membership tiers so families can choose the level of cover that fits their circumstances — see membership tiers and the detailed coverage table. Ready to join? Follow the five-step enrolment process, or use our tools to verify a membership card or verify a recruitment agent before you pay anyone a fee.
