From which country should the certification body be?

I am now working in the process of getting ISO27001 certified. Now I wonder about how to select a certifying agency to do the certification. My company is in India and I would like to get certified by an agency in India. Would that be an issue if I get certified by an agency in another country(say Dubai). Is that going to be of an advantage? Is that mandatory to have a company certified by the certifying authority in the same country?

Answer: You should select a certification body from your country that has the license (i.e. the accreditation) to work in your country.
