Police Clearance Certificate - from India or Qatar?
Hi,
I'm currently in India and have received work visa from a company in Qatar. The company has asked me to get documents including Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). They want me to join by 1st June 2009. I have checked and found that PCC takes a long time in India and they also keep the passport while processing PCC. I don't want to delay my arrival in Qatar. Can I apply for PCC after I arrive in Qatar from the Indian embassy in Doha? If yes, what is the procedure. Thanks for your help.
yes man you can get pcc frm indian embassy doha fees about 75qr......best wishes
Hi, Yes u can obtain PCC from Indian Emabssy in two days, provided you have a work visa. Golsfre's reply is the way to go about. Not a big deal, any time rule can change ...
Felt very relieved seeing the answers. Just to clarify...I'm coming on a work visa and I have some friends in Doha who will help me in getting along. I just want to be sure that I can get PCC in Doha. Getting it from here in India takes ages and my employer is not being patient. I have been recruited directly by the employer and hence do not have any guidance from recruting agencies. I would appreciate advice from those who have already gone through this process. Thanks again.
Hi,
It is easy to get PCC done from Qatar. Just you need to visit Indian Embassy with duly filled prescribed form and submit the same with your passport. You need to pay approx QAR 76/-. It takes 2 - 3 days.
Visit http://www.indianembassyqatar.org to download forms. If you need further information. Call Embassy
It takes 2 - 3 days.
Try to get in done in India itself, if possible.
Reason - You will be new to the country (I believe). You need to depend on other to guide you.
Hi.....I am currently in qatar on my husband's sponosrship and had to obtain a PCC for my job too. I got it done athe Indian Embassy here.Took me two days.
However im not too sure if they wld do it if you are on a visit visa. I suggest you call the embassy here in Qatar and find out.
