india needs to make its internal policies better first so that its population and talents thrive within india itself and less people require to go out of nation for opportunities everything else will fall under the right place on its own

We need more troops down there national emergency

The american people voted for this! When a city or town gets an increase in population, the average american has to pay for this not only in higher taxes, but these folks aren't going to rich areas they go to lower income and middle class areas. Putting a strain on resources that everyday americans need.

If only South Americans allowed to the country what about countries who actually need it like Chinese decedents or iranian or noth koreans, if borders mean nothing why does Germany open its borders to all africa and middle east ??? Dw is hypocritical

It seems that the EU needs some of Trump's policies.

Americans are struggling, we need to fix America for Americans 1st.

So the argument is if someone jumps the fence and pitches a tent in your front yard, you should welcome them with milk and cookies? What does that say about the legal immigrants who have to go through a stringent process ?.. why do we even need visa ?

We don’t need those garbage

They dont even speak english and they want to come ?. You need to speak english to work.

There’s more pride and nationalism projected in this video than real facts. Why do Indians need visas? It’s very simple: Most Indians are more likely to figure out a way to stay abroad once they touchdown abroad. \n\nAmericans, Canadians, Europeans, etc, don’t need visas wherever they go because most of them always return to their countries eventually no matter where they visit and how long they’re away. \n\nCitizens who don’t need visas wherever they go hardly ever leave their own countries for another. It’s really very simple. Just look at Singapore, Switzerland, etc. How often do you see their citizens leave such countries for another? Almost never. That’s why.\n\nIt sounds like she’s trying to make an argument that this rule shouldn’t apply to Indians because India’s economy is powerful. You need to convince this fact to the Indians who are leaving India, because if you can’t even sell this point to those Indians leaving India, then you don’t even have a case.

The problem is that when they ask for a tourit visa, they stay and want to work. Europeans and Americans as well as people ftom the rich Ara nations go to Infia as a tourist and then go back to their country. Thailand and Vietnam allow more Indians be ause Indians do not want to work there. We are right. We must not give visas unless we need the person. India should fo the same.

I mean we need Indian Engineers to develop India by working for India,right? We can't develop India if engineers and doctors move out all the time

Mil jul kar bakwas karti raho..You are nothing but an overpriced propagandist. The amount of arrogance you have projected on behalf of the sanghis is ridiculous..Even now you are giving all this a spin. Its not only Indians that have to go through all these protocols. As far as the passport index position is concerned the foreing ministry interesctions with press and it utterances during meetings with other Foreign Ministers need to br reviewed.. Your extremely arrogant suggestion about leveraging our economic standing will have an adverse effect. Dont try and emulate USA of the 60d and 70s..Those days are long gone..Even you ate slowly becoming a prehistoric fire breathing Pterodactyl..a relic.\nWas it not this(You) shameless propagandist of the BJP that was claiming at the Oxford Union debate the importance of the Indian Passport on the world stage? Would she tell us what our standing was at the time of her absurd assertions? It is time we Indians did a reality check..

I’m not Indian National however I feel proud that this nation has build ‘herself’ as the 5th largest global economy and if some of the following ways are adapted by Indian Gov, the Indian passport will be saluted.\n1) Make your currency strong as in Raja Ranjeet Singh’s time 1 Indian puree was ten (£10) British Pounds, today it’s 100 Rupee to £1.\n2) Need to hold educational tests for everyone going abroad with a minimum level of English language.\n3) Emphasis on etiquettes and local Knowledge of the country where the traveller wants to visit.\n4) Stop all of illegal immigration via people smuggling agents as this gives a bad name to the country.\n5) Set a minimum benchmark amount of funds required before applying for an overseas visa.\n6) Make it mandatory for all travellers to have a full fare return ticket (12 months validity) on them at all times to show strong ties to return back home after trip.\n7) Create strong religious tolerance and harmony within the country so the world can see no religious discrimination being reported on international media worldwide.\n8) The Indian embassies all around the world should be aware and weary of each Indian national traveling abroad in real time so they f any help is require they can assist 24/7 without failure.\nThese are some of my points and opinions for a better India.\nI hope the people who read above will not be offended by any of my opinions as this is not my intention and I am well wisher and want to see this nation thrive, always.\nGood luck and all the best…

They can apply online now so they don't need to come here to be supported by tax payers. No more free rides.

Usa propaganda to divide Canada. .. we need to be united against whatever trump does.

Stop this nonsense we need all Canadians to fight the USA. United we stand

Maybe cuz India is a shieethole with low skilled workers and a garbage educational system, we don’t need Indians outside of like working at McDonald’s lmfao the liberal gov was a lottery win for all of us

India is not a superpower. GDP does not make power or greatness. Indians need to improve India at the grassroots level - cleanliness, industriousness, real development at the grassroots level, not growth of stock market. Actually India has not developed at all. People are happy to convert to Christianity and Islam and accept freebies. Ex-Hindus are happy to put down other Hindus without any loyalty to their ancestry.

They rank countries not only based on the size of their economies but also on the behavior of their people. Palki believes India is a superpower, but for the West, it is seen as a developing country with many people lacking proper behavior, ethics, and hygiene. Indian media needs to understand that respect is earned, not demanded or forced. Many Indians I have met in foreign countries tend to boast about their homeland while choosing to live in a developed country without fully integrating into the local culture. This plays a significant role in the rankings.

Why do we want to move abroad....why do we need to give our business to foreign countries...why do we want to give their economies to proper with our money....just ignore them..and they will run after us...

Burkina faso on 82? n India on 85?5th largest,,n these tag r given by west?we don't need these faltu tag..Indians mindset should chnge..

You are all blaming everything on people you just don't like. You need to educate yourselves with facts not BS that your side is spitting out. It's ridiculous that you can't have a civil conversation with anybody who doesn't think exactly like you. Just watch what happens this year. You will be shocked I guarantee it. And not for the better unfortunately for all of us. Well, except the 1% right?

As per Immigration Department press released a couple of days ago, in 2023 of 50,000 Indian students who came to Canada 20,000 never even registered at school let alone attending classes. Students visa is misused on large scale by immigrant.\n\nAlso one need to keep the number of immigrants. \nBrampton has become the 2nd largest city in Ontario superseding Ottawa and Mississippi largely due to students. Brampton is mostly populated Indian and Pakistani. 3:33

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!

Running your mouth is easy ! The west might require indian talent ..but the talent is dying to go to the west ! You decide, who needs who more ! Yapping away for no reason !

PM and Foreign miniter gets red golden carpet and believe common citizens too get the same. Crazy as basics they ignore in much arrogance. Can Govt dare say we not give visa to ones who rejects Indians. ? Need guts for it.

India needs 1 child policy badly ✌️✌️✌️✌️

India needs to shut all these scam centres first of all\nHave some basic behaviour lessons and hygiene \nStop doing illegal stuff

I support china in this case. They built west on their land. So, no need to travel outside. Rather, west now comes to China. India needs to do the same. We got talent but we are after money. Thanks to those who came back from west and is making India a beautiful place. Request the people of India to support the government and to do little in making India great again.

Indians don't need a visa, they can cross the bribed wire like in Texas to jump into the US.

Now its uae too. Just like Pakistan, indians also get visa rejection. \nNobody needs citizens of these countries in their country anymore.

????You need to know under Thomas Sankara period most of destination Burkinabes used to travel even without Visa. Reason why? Burkina Faso people was considered to be honest and none problematic people. Now 82nd position I must say a huge fall down.

There’s a clear reason why visas are often denied to Indians, and it goes beyond just being smart. In today’s world, intelligence alone isn’t enough. As Indians, we need to focus on improving our physical presentation, practicing good hygiene even outside our homes, and developing essential interpersonal skills. Punctuality is also key, it shows respect for others’ time. Instead of blaming Western countries for their perceptions, we should consider adopting some good aspects of their culture that align with professionalism and global standards. These changes can help create a better impression and open more opportunities for us.

I live in Canada. A citizen now, love this country but India is and will always be a home. Canada is facing hard times currently, which is being faced by every country now and then but even the cause root of all these problems Canada is facing right now is coming from somehow from India. The most disruptive and disturbing people are here from India only with no civic sense. They come here and do not value the Canadian culture at all. They do all sort of illegal activities and try to do jugaad in everything, from which we escaped from India. Even on political grounds, the man who somehow messed up everything was under the influence and pressure of the man having Indian roots. I love India without a doubt but we can’t deny the real facts why Indians are being hated everywhere. People in my community here ( whites, First Nations, old Indians) love me and my family because they know how we respect the culture and values and laws of Canada. But there, where people don’t know us personally, we get judgemental eyes because of our colour and we know why, it’s not all of us, but still majority of us have destroyed the image of India and yes Indians deserve to be banned now. We need skills and knowledge and we should class apart from the stupid ones.

One of the biggest reason that no one talking and not even Palki - free visa access is reciprocal. How many countries have visa free access to India? Hardly 3 or 4. India need to open its arm first

How about a few more major reasons why Indian Visas are being rejected by most of the countries. It's not anti immigrant it is anti -indian sentiment because of our uncivilized behavior, breaching visa conditions and seeking asylum all over the world. It's not western world that needs our talent, in fact India needs the west to export our talent because we can't afford our population. Sadly, government officials are helping the human traffickers to create forged documents and police cases so that they can make a valid excuse. Indians are being hated everywhere because of India.

We need more Indian visa in Guyana. \n✅ ? ?????

Excellent and need of the hour topic. Thanks Palki Sharma and Firstpost. We deserve better treatment!!

Nobody needs you guys Palki. Simple

The passport ranking is a true reflection of a country whose more than half of the population needs free rice. \n\nThe visa rejection rate is a true reflection of how misbehaved we desis are

US rejected my VISA 3 times on same cause I don't have social connection with my country of origin and before reach I need to deposit 350 usd for Homeland Security.

Bottom line is cheap labor no longer needed?

Thats a response to our growing economy and becoming richer middle class pains the countries you mentioned.But elephant in the room need to take proactive tackle that as an opportunity not a rejection....

This is why we need Trump to clean this up!! It's a disaster. And where are they all gonna go? How they going to make money and who pays for their care?? We do! Insane. Just so upsetting

No because first you need to wait for Tuesday wait for next day and that's why you need to wait for the law to come real are the government have to vote go to hell

Canada didn’t need immigrants. Fortune 500 companies did. \nIndian immigrants are perfect for this task. They don’t mind living in modern day slavery. Especially those from Punjab. This will go down in history as the greatest invasion of a country without shooting a single bullet or dropping a single bomb. The Country has literally changed forever.

Yeah they may have small business but they have to be vetted and with the courts approval if they want this hear and been approved rhey will have to pay a fine because it is illegal to cross into this country illegally.second part the will have to pay back taxes . They will have to get green cards this will be a great cost and if they cant psy then they need to be deported asap

Immigration needs to be lowered. Only vetted people should be allowed. Must have similar values. Must be allowed only a certain amount from each country. \nCut back on refugees. We can't save the world if we can't take care of our own.

Good evening ma please ? am interested I need your help ma
