What is a Thai PCC for use in Mauritius?
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is the official Thai record confirming whether you have a criminal record in Thailand. It is required by Mauritius authorities for immigration visas · permanent residency · work permits · professional licensing · marriage registration · inter-country adoption.
For Mauritius, the full legalisation chain is: CID (Royal Thai Police) → Certified Translation → MFA Legalization → Mauritius Embassy in Bangkok → delivery.
