Come to the UK, our government will let you in, set you up in a house and give you free housing benefits. You will earn more than someone who works and no questions will be asked and taxes will be raised AGAIN for us that do work. ?‍♂️

You didn’t do any video when Saqib Mehmood and Uzzie visa get delayed. Despite they are UK and Australian residents.

if every single person was atheist in the UK :) black white yellow brown :) spoke 1 language it would be the perfect peaceful society

As a person of Indian decent known as an NRI in India, Indians have a bad reputation here in the UK. Why, many don't know how to look as women and behave on a night out, not to mention sexual assaults that are committed.

Why does the Indian government not take action about these embassy really making money usa and europe and uk also. Even some people apply 3 to 4 times then they r geting visa

Actually indians should stop travelling to Europe as it is very costly and not cost bearable. The international airport s do not provide drinking water as it is provided at the Indian airport. They charge 4 to 5 Euros for a bottle of water, which we do not know before travel. We should travel to our friendly countries and avoid UK & european countries.

Scandinavians claim uk as a home ?,btw they are immigrants too.natives are Irish,walesh and Scottish ?

Hi! Palki, Wasn't it you who went to UK and made a speech that world now sees Indian Passport with Pride. And now this story. I also heard Indian Passport is around 80th in the world according to a survey which scores passport strength basis it's Visa On Arrival status.

This is mad. This lady here goes down to the Oxford union debate in the UK and she said that indians globally are flaunting their passport, and now she is telling indians are being rejected by visa due to some bullshit reasons. The hard fact is that Indians are so fed-up with their country that they go to any where illegally and countries are scared of them, tbh that's what indians are doing as there is no jobs no opportunities here for them. The Henley pasport index ranks countries passports based on how many visa free visits are allowed for a countries passport and has nothing to do with paper works and racism. Such an hypocrite she is.

shame on you ! putting dust in the public eyes is far more dangerous than harming a person. Why First post have fear @Palki Sharma to show Indian real face? Put your camera down in any country, Name it : Germany, Italy, America , Canada, Australia, Newzeland, Hungary , Amsterdam, UK, Scotland. Palki sharma jist name it and put your camera on ground and do the survey. You will feel Indians are world 3rd country Parasites in these countries. Why Indians fail to show respect and basic hygiene when they are in abroad? Specially Punjabis ! Have you smell them ? Not taking bath and roaming on the streets with bad odour leaves permanent mark on other Indians reputation.(by the way i am from amritsar and a punjabi). NOW WORLD IS KNOWING :- Indians believes that they cannot benefit unless someone else is harmed. This is Indian culture at its core and white people are also knowing this. If India is that great then why Indians are leaving ? If your culture is that superior then why you want to go to other country ? Enjoy your superiority. Accept the reality . TRUTH IS BITTER

Most of it is due to bad so called visa expert agents in India. They haven’t even been to Nepal and they help educated people fill their visa applications for western countries. The day people start doing their own applications with honesty the rejection rate will start to drop. I have seen my own friends granted US visas when they only had 2000 rupees in their bank account only because they were honest. Last year I did my dad UK visa and when the asked his monthly income I wrote 0 and he still got approved. Don’t fall for the trap guys.

Lots of west Indian islands and some south american countries are very friendly to Indians. Example: trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, Guadeloupe. Also pacific islands.\nHowever, Indians are flocking to us, UK, use, shengan?????\nChoose friendly countries

In UK new comer from Indian are so rude and their behaviour is so irrational shouting, drinking, urinating , on the bus shouting never give any way to elderly a seat . Most of them have never ever been to even Mubai . Now motor bike going into no entery under take like In India . They are spoilig Indian name . People who are living here for decades are feeling ashamed .

Those that have abused these privileges have made it more difficult for the genuine travellers to get visas. UK may be refusing 17% of visas however Indians were the highest number of migrants into uk year ending June 24. 86% migration into Uk was from non EU countries and Indian was the most common nationality for non-EU+ immigration for both work-related (116,000) and study-related (127,000) reasons in YE June 2024.

Wasn't she the same person who was arguing that she was flaunting Indian passport at UK immigration during an Oxford Debate? ?

I think it's about an India oppressing UK for being it's puppet

Palki, weren't you some time ago, wearing your yellow saree, in the UK parliament, waxing eloquently about the importance of Indian passport. Now doing this bit saying Indians are not getting visas.\n\nSuch a joke you are. \n\nWhat did you smoke that day??

I am sorry I am not able to understand the paradox. Less than an year ago you mentioned, in Oxford, that based upon your ‘personal yet unquantifiable’ experience at the UK border sic ‘where Indians were flaunting their passport and NONE of them in the self doubt of past century. the Immigration officer was a fan of India’? \n\nThen, your personal anecdotal account at an International stage doesn’t represent a tiny bit of reality. In most of the Schengen country we are called a ‘third world’ at immigration and always looked with a doubt. You dont have to travel these countries to get beyond your personal experience but just have a look at the queue at the US embassy in Delhi, and the way one is treated, you would have had your data. \n\nAnd now, in this video you say that a similar Immigration officer is denying visa to Indians. \n\nWhat changed in 8months?

They just too many indian migrants.now...that not integrate into western Societies..but establish indian subcultures ..look uk,canada..thats the main reason..next to white nationalism..rising in the western World..?

Civic Sense ZERO\nRespect for locals ZERO\nRespect for Hygeine ZERO\n\nLook what Indians have done to the UK, Canada and also Australia.

Maybe they should tackle their own people for the drugs they spread all over the UK or the rape gangs that have raped their way through the UK!! This has to be addressed before the people of this country start to address it themselves ????

Lowkey, I can’t even be mad at him. It’s ridiculous to watch what’s happening to the UK, Sweden, France and all other European countries who’ve mistakenly let these people in.

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.

She is one of the then who was giving speech at Oxford stating that people flaunt their Indian passport in uk . Well instead of blaming other countries fix India first . Sorry vishwaguru aise nahi bante

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

I got my visa within 5-7 hours for the UK entry

I don't think any indian is being proud of their passport now and wish they could change to uk or Aussie passport.

Palki maybe if you are not a godi adani RSSBJP spokesperson .you might one day do some real journalism. Not every issue has pro nationalist agenda. Go see how these students and Indian tourist behave ,It’s disgusting and appalling . No manners ,they are rude .do not follow , local laws and regulations. Let’s not even mention lack of hygiene. \nThis is why many countries like Australia,UK ,Europe Canada are clamping down on Desi indians..and the Indian immigrants who are born or living in these countries for decades are facing racism .

South Africans have had to comply with these requirements for years. Letter of invitation for your stay. \nProof of residence in host country.\nProof of financial means to support yourself whilst there.\nQuality medical insurance in case of emergency. \nReturn flight ticket. \nMedical clearance for TB, HIV, STD's etc etc\nProof of employment in your home country.\nProof that you will return home. \nSubmit all that, and probably a few things I've forgotten. \nBTW, my hubby is a UK citizen, and we've been married for years, and I would still need to apply and comply!\nNo country owes anyone right of access, and if it threatens them in any way, they have the right to decline the application!

I doubt whether tourist visas are rejected. Has anyone done an analysis of student visa rejection? Most students travel to study in no name colleges with no value of degrees. These colleges are also scams. If India (and China) stop sending students to US UK Australia then half the colleges will shut shop there\n\nAs usual media keeps clickbaiting on headlines because no one takes media seriously

Simple, because to control illegal immigrants....and indians dont want to stay illegally in SL Thai or Vietnam but NZ Aus US UK and others European countries

Palki in UK was saying that by looking at her India passport Immigration officer was amazed haha

Madame you didn't tell the whole story. Unemployment in India is very high and youth who travel to US and the UK do not return back to India. Illegal immigration is the new issue found with travelling abroad. ????

India’s own visa policies are no easy for the outside world. The cost is at par in many cases even more than a Schengen or UK tourist visa. So there is parity in terms of visa requirements.

I have travelled to almost 40 countries and have never been rejected for any visa - US, UK, Schengen etc. Reason being, I am a law abiding traveller who respects the rules & regulations of the countries I travel to. I furnish all documents honestly at the visa center. I arrive & leave the foreign countries as permitted on my visa. Traveler's with a clean & honest travel history should have no problems at all.

The process for Visa and the backup documents is pretty transparent and available at the country's or VFS website. I have been travelling to Europe and my visa has not been rejected. But I still do see a lot of people not understanding the process, documentation required. The documentation is usually about proof of stay, proof of travel and proof of financial strength. Please do not talk about the 5th largest economy. We are 143rd in GDP per capita. Among the illegal immigrants into USA India ranks third, to the UK it ranks 9th and is a significant number into the EU. With immigration a hot topic in the west today, this was inevitable.

Lots of phone scammers have already got the Green card in the USA. Scammers were given student visa by carriers and they work as couriers. Stealing from poor people.\nIn UK ALL of scam calls I am getting are from Kolkata. They steal poor pensioners without any heart. Heartless and cruel. Indian students miss behave, laugh and talk louder on the high streets, drop waste on the street. Truthfulness, kind heartless should be part of education system. Also there's no place for bribe in these countries. In India rich parents show their kids how to get around by bribery.\n\nEducated and intelligent Indian scammers are a world known issue.

The way to travel around would be to become refugee.\n\nCanada, uk, europe take lakhs of refugees every year without even security check, but if common , hard working person wants to go to destination especially through proper channel, they have to give evidence of educational background, financial statements, clear TOEFL, gre exams etc. , fill tedious forms, stand in long queues out of their embassies. Need to take health insurance, travel insurance. \n\nIt seems like as if the person is not applying to visit another country but trying to find a matrimonal alliance.?

I worked in India for 6 years and then shifted abroad for a Masters, and now I am pursuing a fully funded PhD. In the UK, what I have observed is that the crop of students arriving from India are by the day lesser inclined towards studies and more in pursuit of the quick buck. Yes, getting a ‘UK based work experience’ is necessary to build the edge to compete against the wider international students post graduation and I have myself worked part-time in profiles which complimented my course in parallel to prioritising studies. However, the increasing trend amongst the masses (I do not want to generalise but yes this is unfortunately true and especially from certain states, the case is magnified: Read Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana) remains getting that student visa to earn quick buck to support themselves financially, chiefly, save up to dole out to so called ‘assignment writers’ which helps them pass the course to further graduate and transfer to a grad visa (again comes at a cost) which allows them 2 years worth of stay with no working hour stipulation post graduation. Thereon, work full time in laborious jobs with again not focussing on applying to full time opportunities in the field of study. Thus, what remains at the end of the day is lost time and opportunity and since I am only talking of people who come here on a Student VISA so primarily, the opportunity cost lost to upskill and further horizons. For the country’s perspective, getting cheap, skilled labour for an unskilled job is obviously an advantage but then there are cases of students not respecting their working hour restrictions, vandalising, bickering loudly, joining hands with the already operating extremist forces which instigate violence and hatred etc. In all, I think the resistance to not becoming bicultural which is a product of serious mental and physical toil and wasting time in frivolity is the main cause of the anti-immigration wave.

My son got visa just days back.without any problem for UK

Actually every time I went to the UK, immigration thought I was Rishi Sunaks relative, and was impressed by my passport, just like Palki said in Oxford.

What is the purpose of going to Malesia ? US UK Canada are all advanced countries. Seems India GDP is going down . Respect also goes down. You analyze how India lost respect in the world in last 10 years in many areas.

as an NRI who lived in US, UK, and Canada, I can tell you that the so called developed nations are over hyped. Yes, there are so many things that are better in these countries compared to india, but all these countries lack one thing. Respect towards fellow human beings. I lived in several states in India, we have problems, but nothing compared to these countries. Indians don't belong outside of india. Don't go to any country out side of iindia...you are not welcome. I came back to india and I am living peacefully.

Going out f India and spreading hate in those countries in the name of religion is one of the reason. Example - Canada , UK

Hilarious that not so long ago Palki was in Oxford giving a speech about how powerful India passport is. Apparently according to her the Immigration officer in the UK was impressed about her Indian passport.lolzz. Indian passport holders and quite unfortunately Indian citizens/Indian subcontinent folks are some of the least respected people around the world. People who travelled around the world can relate to this easily. I am not gonna blame the govt completely for this issue. Unfortunately basic civic sense and behavioral etiquette are literally non existent among majority of Indians. Its a sad reality which wont change in India

Few months back in UK someone said the Indians were flaunting their passports with pride . She didn’t mention blank passports ! ?

This is the exact reason why most BJP ministers make sure their kids to get US or UK passport as they themself has no faith in their performance and holding Indian citizenship. Best example is Jaishankar Ji. After his term is over, he can comfortably move to US with his son and settle a better life there.

its because they are racist... imagine US, UK, etc grants no visa on their former enemies (like Japan) but demands for visa entry for their former colonies? you cant deny that these former imperialists sees former colonized countries as lint and does not contribute to their economy.... they stole billions of dollars in the past and at they could've grant visa free entry to their former colonies as a way of compensation to the damages that they've made in the past but they didnt.. and when war broke up, they'll ask from these former colonized countries for some soldier to be on the frontline for them because they were allies.. until now they still do some exploits to colonized counties in some other way like establishing manufacturing plant or some establishment hiring cheap labor from these countries, and when you want to visit to these counties they will automatically deny you.. On some point, China gives a better option. They will welcome you with open arms (although they will take advantage of you) but at least you can visit their country easily.

Weren’t you telling in the uk, Indian passports are respected now. What a bigot this anchor is

We have misused the invite by countries. UK is messed up can't blame the nation
