@shilr_nt we have written to my CO already..... I already tried to Saught help from Italian consulate in my native country but they don't offer any help on said matter.....I work on the ship in 2009-2010 ... and I was hired through a recruitment agency.... getting help from employer is even more difficult considering it's been almost 10 years I stopped working for them and company has more than a dozen ship and every ship employs more than 1500 staff any given day :(((

Thank you guys for your time and effort but here the problem is .. one I don't think the Italian revenue stamps are available at the Italian consulate.... but even if I do manage them smhow....if you follow the link provided by Wrusssell..... it is difficult to understand.... I have tried it already ..... like mentioned earlier my concern is .., just because I am not able to provide PCC for two out ten years .... will my CO will reject my application ..... the declaration I have provided with my email communication hold no importance at all .... I tried to be in touch with Italian consulate in my native country, mail ID provided on above mentioned address.... and many more....;((

@wrussell thank you for your time and consideration... but here if you follow the link and instructions it's little blurr... a lot of things lack clarity..... I have tried writing down to the mail address they don't respond..... and I don't know how to obtain the "marca da bollo" revenue stams to make payment.

Thank you @Nemesisfor your reply it means a lot, I am getting into depression thinking about it. My problem is I am able to provide pcc for eight out of ten years... but for cruise ship exp which is 2009-2010 could Not arrange. Law says applicant must provide PCC for ship exp from the county it is registered or under the flag it sails. In my case that's italy. With all my efforts no luck.... besides I could not find a conclusive way or system I could follow to arrange an Italian PCC. There is no system in place. Everyone I asked for help provided me links to follow online but apart from a clear language barrier... the process I could not understanding. It's been how many months since we are stuck on this.... I know there is provision for PCC waiver for some middle eastern countries...... but does that apply to country outside of it also ????..... I have provided self declaration for Italian PCC for cruise ship exp ... would that be acceptable ?????

Hi everyone, I have applied for GSM as Chef 489. After applying for my grant in September, my CO has asked for my PCC for my cruise ship work exp. I have exhausted all means but could not arrange it, I have provided though PCC for five years of Singapore and 3 years of my native country, but could not find any way to get for cruise work exp. my query and concern is I have worked so hard and invested so much of time effort and money to reach to this very point. What will happen if I fail to arrange this PCC. Besides I have provided a self declaration form instead. Pls SOS Regards....
