    Highly recommend Mary Jemi here. This is our second time working with her for PCC. As usual excellent communication and detailed explanation of the process. We got PCC for Bahrain this time and previously for Oman. Both times process was very straightforward. Ask for her when you call the office!
  • Moncy Varghese

    Excellent communication and coordination by Mary Jemi. I needed PCC for Oman and within a weeks time of submitting the documents, I got the PCC. It was for my dad who worked there over 15 years back and Mary Jemi guided me and answered all questions promptly regarding whats required for PCC. Highly recommend!
