Question regarding Indian PCC for non-resident Indian

[abhiram.kumar]

You won't need it 99.99999%, from my experience. I'm in UAE btw.

Thank you so much.

This was my confusion. I am currently living in the UAE and have been here for more than 20 years. I tend to visit India every year but the duration of each visit never exceeds 2 months. The immigration website clearly states that the system wouldn't ask for one if we haven't stayed in one particular country for more than six months in a row in the last ten years. However, there is a possibility that an immigration officer might ask for one after the application has been submitted. In such situations, is it okay if we get one from India rather than going through the embassy?

Only through embassy if you are an NRI

Hi,

I came upon this thread while looking around for answers as I am in a similar boat. Could anyone confirm if you're required to give Indian Police Clearance Certificate if you've never lived there past 18 years.

Basically I was born in India, and lived there for approximately 8 years. In 2002, I permanently moved to Hong Kong to reside and have lived there as permanent resident until 2014 when I came to Canada. I currently hold Indian Citizenship and am a Hong Kong resident. I have also visited India 2 times before 2010 (While under 18) for less than a month duration.

Would I need the police certificate for India?

Any help would be much appreciated.

You may have to visit India. It should take a day or two...

Any advise on getting PCC in India as an NRI?
