· Letter of recommendation from a sponsoring company

· Copy of your STCWC course

· 2 photographs

· Copy of your passport

· And CDC

Carry your originals with you, along with a demand draft drawn in favor of MMD, Mumbai or Chennai. You will also need to fill and submit a form that you can obtain from MMD. After this, you will receive a blue copy in the evening, which will be valid for 3 months. A hard copy will also be issued within this time period.
