Client Testimonials
Thank you very much to MGCC for their great support in extending the re-entry application for my family. This would not have been possible without them. I appreciate their commitment and quick responses.
YTL Power Services (YTLPS) engaged MGCC to assist us with urgent applications for German national visas (EU blue card scheme) for seven service engineers with Malaysian and Philippine nationality. MGCC not only provided the necessary guidance on the document requirements and the individual steps of the application process, but also actively helped expediting the processing at the respective IHK in Germany through regular follow-up calls. MGCC also managed to obtain appointments at the German Embassies in Kuala Lumpur and Manila on short-notice to speed up the visa submission. As result of our experience with MGCC's active support, YTLPS would highly recommend the visa services of MGCC.
