Indians rarely come back without making a permanent documents..

Indians want to do dunki everywhere, so hence the result...they know once they come few return...

India is hypocritical state\nHow many visa indian embassy it self rejected???\n\nWhy India thing so special?\n\nWhere india come, it devide people, look kashmir, Punjab

First, let’s admit the truth—why do Indians rush to Western countries? Not because they’re just “visiting.” They’re chasing jobs or education. And guess what? They don’t reject those wealthy Indian passports when it’s time to leave! ? Many Indians dream of a Western lifestyle, but here comes the plot twist: the current Indian government is playing a double game, crushing those dreams like an overripe mango. ?\n\nNow, poor Palki is out here screaming about Western policies, but honestly, it’s all noise with no sense. The Western world doesn’t revolve around India, sorry, baby. ?✨ Check your foreign policy before making grand speeches—it’s giving “wannabe boss energy.” ?

The world See the issues and wrong behaviour of India ! How the treat others it’s come back as Karma ! India think the r big Bit noooooooooooi! India Young and smart people will leave India! Bcs Indian Goverment is just horrible and keep also the criminal hassina ! Thats for what India will suffer!

I've been traveling for 30 years, and have been to many countries. When it comes to Indians traveling, many locals in countries where Indians holiday wished they'd stayed in India.

When you dont let people come in your house as people want then dont express your stupid analogy of have gates. If so why the heck you have borders on pakistan and china? Our own people are the reason why they have started rejecting visas. People come here in the name of education and then demand PR. Many come here with dodgy certificates for which some indian states are banned. Majority come here and dont assimilate but instead make their own country within a country even becoming citizens. If u r so proud why come here?

we have a huge problem with indians coming on student visa. They usually work and do cheap courses that doesnt earn then a well paid job.

It's easy to understand this. Indians love to leave their country behind and settle in New land. They bring with them some behaviors that are eye brow raising. Coupled with the sheer number of people that come from India, it feels like an infestation.

If you don’t mind me commenting-both my professional experience and personal experience with Indian is very negative. They talk very good and when it comes to getting their hands dirty to get the job done, they are NO WHERE to be found!

Probably because we are all filled up here with Indians. And its not new they have been coming here in mass numbers since the 1980's. Basically exploiting every known benefit America can offer. They basically come over here as indentured servants to some higher up Indian lets say owns a travel agency see the synergy here.

Some indians almost 45 Percent travel.abroad for jobs ...in that most of ppl go on tourist visa and try to get jobs or stay illegally ..due to that western nations curb immigration by stronger border controls ....better way to come out of this problem ...create jobs ,increase salary then only country passport index goes up

Coming from an Indian who has worked in overseas for the last 10 years - I hate to see Indian tourists with their noisy behaviour , bad manners & indecent attitude towards women (especially those from north & east India)- Like someone pointed out Indian government should step in give some basic training to Indians travelling abroad.and ban those who misbehave overseas- for pointers just see the video of Indians tourists bad behaviour aboard a Thai airlines flight

Palkhi as much as I like watching your news your views here need to address real issues. I am a proud Indian who has lived in the UK for over 50 years. However I have to say whilst there are a lot of highly skilled Indian immigrants on work visas who contribute immensely to this country. however we now have a huge community of Indians those who have come over on illegal documents or on holiday visas and then never go back. They end up working in menial jobs or not working at all and perhaps this is an issue India needs to address. Sadly these immigrants will never be an economically contributing asset to this country or any other country and I am not surprised that the visa rate rejection is so high.

Being a NRI living in the UK i have noticed a lot of Indians come over on temporary visas and end up staying illegally. And this practice is not just exclusive to the uk, i am sure it happens to many more countries where Indian people go. And also many Indian s to survive overseas will end up doing illegal things to survive. This could be a reason behind the spike in visa rejections

Palki purposely chose to omit the fact that 99% of Indians apply for visa to the west with the intention of never returning back to their country. That’s why most countries are sceptical when it comes to issuing visa for Indian passport holders.

Thanks for your biased reporting. Do you have any idea how many Indians, mostly from Punjab, are illegally coming and staying in Western countries? I see it daily in Canada. This is why Indians visas are mostly rejected. Illegal immigration. Get your facts right

But palki you only said that they were flaunting their indian passports as their proud ownership also it was also true that year later they may have thrown same those passports to aquire foreign citizenship. How come this happen?

Indian do not have good reputation in Europe. They come Europe and work cash in hand. Which put pressure on local employees. Most of the Asian countries doing same, so no doubt why European government are stepping in about visas..

As an Indian living in New Zealand I see lot of people coming with intention to work or apply refugee leading to rejection

Most of the Indians dont come back after visiting west . All want to be illegal immigrant so I guess this is justified

I think it is about time Indians should know that these foreign places are not paradise and just stay where you are until changes have been made, such as Trump coming to office and few elections in Europe. Nothing at this point is set in stone.

Easy. At least in the USA and Canada Indians come here illegally \nThey are moving up in rankings as a nation source of illegal migration.

Majority of Indians are not tourist. They are trying to come to the west to stay here permanently. That is why 30 & 40 year olds are coming as students ?

The problem with the indians are once they go abroad, they won't come back.

How come low passport rating for Indians when we have VishwaGuru Modiji

Was she the one who spoke in one of the debates that “Indian passport has too much value, ppl now suddenly respect and ask us are you from Mondi’s country?” How come they are happy to see Indian passports but reject India visa??? Hypocrisy ki Seema Khatam

First of all . I am an Indian living in Australia. \n1. The way some of us are behaving in these countries is the worst . Instead of respecting their culture and laws, we start behaving in the same way as in India .\n2. I don't want to put it out, but some people from certain places have a ready solution even if the immigration change their rules . They know every means to cheat their way in. \n3. Take, for example, 200 people come from other countries and do nonsense in India. Will we allow them ? Noooo, right ... but right now, thousands of our Indians are damaging other countries, bringing all kinds of dirty activities we do in India .Unnecessary protests are just 0.1% of them\n\nThis is the best decision taken by the other countries and it should become more strict in the coming days

Improve trade and cut H4 visas for US as i have no idea on other countries. H4 visa housewives will really depressed in a country like US. because of depression crime rate will be more.? sometimes you wont have any indian friends near by even it has more indian immigrants. Give jobs to indians who are living there for generations. They must have contributed tons of inputs larger foreign trade income etc... Ask their inputs and India should make policies supportive or non supportive to indians. Dont send indians. They will suffer. As a indian we are nice people. help if you see any indians suffering in foreign countries. Please give help line to come back home . lot of movies you see in india shows immigrant suffering. those are all true. dont go unless you are rich and have billions of dollars. Increase jobs/ Salary/ skill training here. also improve immigration policies on other countries where indian immigrants is less. lot of foreign countries have worst weather. In those areas indians can Work from home. india should support WFH.?

Only thing Indians can do is to drop their arrogance, and accept there are major problems in india and in Indians. Because with acceptance comes development/improvement

Stop having kids if you cant take care of them indias problemas are not the worlds problem over 28 million indians have fled india and even renounced their indian citizenship shamefull \n\nThe 25 million who traveled abroad did the come back ???\n\n5th largest economia where 90 % of Indians are poor ?????? all trying to flee India as they hate India\n\nThe West doesn't rely on Indian talents Indians rely on the the western companies they work for for dirt cheap by the way ?

The likes of Palki were of opinion which they promoted day in and day out.. that after Modiji coming in the Value of Indian Passport has increased.. Indians travelling abroad are respected more than before. They are not kept waiting in lanes.?

It is very good...I hope a day comes...all counries west of India reject Indians...travel within India....India has everything ..beahes, mountains, forests, waterfalls, desert....probably Indian babus out of shame and greed will then improve the infra within India

Palki, you don't need 'Einstein's Intellect' to understand why Indians are rejected . 5th largest economy does not mean that India is a developed and prosperous country. Have the audacity to explain the real reasons of rejection rather than coming up with some flimsy explanations.

Indians IT professionals made a good impression to allow for fellow indians to come. But the current middle class Indians make the west feel like you are living in India. I don't know what you are talking about Palki. There are more Indians than any other nation in the west.

It's a shame that we talk about 5th biggest economy.... and politicians and actors saying at immigration they ask are you coming from Modi's country.... Bullshit... the moment they see Indian passport they don't want to trust that you are here for tourism.. ... We are treated worst than 3rd class citizens. The government should stop patting it's own back and try to improve its image as well as give guidelines to it's citizens on how to behave in a foreign country?

25 million Indians traveled overseas, but how many are coming back?\nThere you have it.

The western economic structure is drowning in debt and they fear Indians will come and take away what little is left. Don't worry companies will come to India eventually. I am sure the tourist visas are not getting rejected coz that would be soo dumb.

They are making so much money for unreversible visa payment. Surely, Divine justice will come to them before long. Indians should go to the Philippines and there's also a one- month free visa. Ms. Palki is doing the right thing by exposing the unexposed.

They are doing right thing. You go to submit any document at BLS which is unfortunately front offices of Indian embassies, you come back frustrated and angry. They are masters of finding faults, keep on changing required forms. It seems unrelated but I tell you support for India with Indian community is dwindling. We no longer write angry emails to politicians for rejection of visas to Indians.

Indian are not coming to west for tourism purpose..they are are the visa over stayer. Most of the Indian student and visitor came to Canada either fled to USA or filed for asylum and that the reason Mr. To Do had to resign.

It is now well known that Indians are desperate to do everything (legally or not) to get a PR in the western countries because of population explosion in India and hard life! Canada and AUS are very strict when it comes to Indian students' visa application now! It is sad that Indian Consultant agencies are scamming its own people resulting to these changes.

It's the Indian reputation, unfortunately. The Indians come, and they don't integrate.

Indians are peddled this dream that everything outside is a heaven since early childhood. They see pictures of skyscrapers in Manhattan, London and Frankfurt and think everyone is living like that outside. These people are further brainwashed by immigration agencies and disguised human traffickers to put lakhs or even crores on the line for just going outside. They sell their lands, properties and other assets just to be able to go out pursuing a misleading dream.\n\nThis is a problem especially in states like Punjab, Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra and Kerala, where most of the people still believe that it's better living outside than inside. These are not people who don't have anything in India but rather well-to-do families that have homes and assets and families in the country. \n\nThen comes the added Western bias and negative media image through propaganda. \n\nIndia has much work to do - if the country keeps complaining, nothing will get done.

Many Indian people go to Canada on student visas and never report to the college. They end up as illegals in the USA and Canada. They come from one specific region of India. This hurts the Indian passport ranking.

The reason is also the Indians who come and break the law openly and without shame. There are consequences and pretending like it’s just racism isn’t going to solve the issue.

Lot of Indians don't have talents and they are draining the resources here in US. They are getting loans in India and come here for Master's and then try to get jobs in tech depriving some of the Americans here the opportunity.

Biggest Reason - All these countries are scared of Hard Working Indians...\n\nThey come to these countries and own big houses and cars etc. within no time !!

I am an Indian living in New Zealand, actually one of the biggest reason is the Visa scams Indians do especially from few states which has caused this issue. Also, the kind of people coming into the country, their no sense of comprehension towards the Local laws, culture and traditions.

Indians are flooding these countries and many stay back illegally . Many are now undertaking underhand activities. Huge numbers coming with FAKE educational qualifications and documents. The trust system is broken now. Unchecked immigration has put high pressure on the health and housing sectors.
