Police clearance for a Gulf visa or a new job
A PCC is issued for a stated purpose. The Indian mission in your country publishes the current steps.
What it is
A police clearance certificate says whether a record exists against you in India, or in the country where you live, depending on who asked for it. Employers and visa desks name which one they want. A certificate made for a different purpose is often rejected.
Where to apply
If the desk wants an Indian PCC while you live in the Gulf, follow the Indian mission’s PCC page for that country. If they want a local GCC clearance, that comes from the police or the ministry named on your visa checklist, not from the embassy.
