Lol, the reason we have so many rejection is because everyone wants to go abroad and settle there even illegally. Other nations have not failed at infra as much as we have. Our greed and shallow thinking is why we are in this mess. If allowed, over 100 million would fly out in matter of months but those countries can't support such migration. Fifth largest economy still struggles to both build foothpaths and keep them from encroachment. First fix the issues within.

India is 1.4 billion strong. If a European country gives Indians easier access on visa, we will flood that country. You already have Dunkis thronging in droves, illegally entering US and Canada. This has nothing to do with nationalism or some second-class treatment by other nations. This is simply the logistical reality. India's passport ranking will never improve. And the way Indians behave in other countries, I would say this rejection rate is more than justified.

Park said it nicely, encourage our friendly nation for holiday, tour and cinema shooting. Going to Newzealand, Australia, Europe, or America isn't going to make any difference for movie whereas countries like Srilanka Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal, Mauritius will have an extra business

Countries do not just reject visas for no reason. Probably because in there data many Indian Nationals over-stay there visa and stay there for good even though tourist visa already expired. Immigration can determined who is entering and departing in their port of entries. Many Indian nationals stay in a country undocumented that's the reason of visa rejection!

You are a anti national. Don't spread false news against India?\nDo you know better than prasant sir?

So simple\n\nBecause modi india joins btics who wants to destroy usa dollar and india was buying gasoline to russia\n\nSo nations who are using usa dollars are not wanted the brics employees businessmans\n\nBrics employees and businessmans are not welcome to nations who used usa dollars now\n\nGot the point???

Because you paiki sharmaalways lies and smear other nation you ask for it ?

What about Vishva Guru. Indian nationals are led by 56” non-biological forces. How dare they deny free entry to Indian s

The reason is simple: lower adaptability and that exact percentage try to make the other nations as their home. Ex Brampton CA...

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

To abstract maximum benefits, India should stay in line with the trend & policy of the modern countries. Don't stick to stooges style & policies which other nations people don't like. Too much promotion of Bharat sentiments will deter money rich countries.

The passport ranking is because of how Indians behave in general. If I was a nation I would make sure I don't let too many Indians in. And I would also make sure that the process is difficult enough to dehumanize them as they try to get to my country. \n\nAs an Indian I am happy that this is happening. At least now we will all work towards building this nation up to serve all our needs instead of fighting with others to let them into their house.

Madam you need to understand why visas are getting rejected because of government fighting policy with other countries. At last who suffers a common man who just wants to earn money. Indian government can show an attitude once you are a developed nation.

Ms. Sharma please do not MISLEAD + CONFUSE viewers in name of Nationalism.\n\n\nIf it is news worthy, I think PM office should RETURN the favors to ALL these countries and stop issuing VISAS.\n\nAs far as I know [and i can be corrected] visa fees are on a equal footings [in terms of cost] . But ofcourse, if fewer people apply for Indian visa revenue for Indian government woll be lower.\n\nPlease understand the subject matter and then report it and NO DISINFORMATION or MISINFORMATION. We have TOO MUCH OF THAT.

Stay in your country and contribute your work in nation building. I am indian myself and at any cost i would prefer myself to stay in my country and I'll contribute my little effort in nation building, not to roam around the glob for money greed. And why should other countries welcome you? They jave their own people and you are going there snatching job of native people. Stay in your country and make it beautiful with your little effort.

When our great dear leader made india number one country in the world.. Most of the world think that why the world number one country citizens come to their nation.\n\nIndians stay In india and make india the great country in the whole universe.. Like we are the greatest country in the world now..\n\nRAISING ON THE GLOBAL STAGE.. NOTE THIS POINT YOUR HONOUR.. ?

It is about time that nations applied more stringent visa requirements. All nations have the right to carefully assess the motives of visitors to ensure they don't overstay their welcome. I suggest India look inwards to find reasons why its passport is lowly ranked rather than casting aspersions at foreign nations.

I agree with the ranking, and the west doesn't need indian talent, india needs the west. Keep your talent, that way you won't need any visa. Kosova people are not demonstrating in host nations they visit like Indians, Burkina Faso is not over populating other countries illegally that's why they are better than India and if they immigrate they learn the culture and integrate. Take and inside look and find out why evry country finds u unpleasant

Telling 5th largest economy didn’t help we are still developing nation. Just see our roads, traffic rules, food quality, air quality, toxic work culture and the list goes on and on

Yes, because Indians just want to leave their nation in boat loads at the first chance they get. Palki, my question to you is, when are you moving?

Getting the visa appointment is hard because of how many people are trying to get out from here, just because everyone else is doing. I'll give up an example. For German national visa, the slots for next 2 months were filled in two VFS centres, ( which two states in India depends on) were filled in an hour. And a lot of those guys who go abroad, ruin the country they go to with their bs from India.

3:35 unnecessary nationalism is what you bargained to be on limelight. \nhenley passport index are simply based on datas provided as no of. visa free entry it has.\nalso keeping in mind the large share of illegal immirgration issue and other aspects

I was not a big admirer of previous govts. work but this govt I can say with utmost believe that our ranking has gone down in major areas like the media, democratic institutions, income inequality, Passport ranking. Corruption. Ye log census tak nahi kara paye batao sare decision 2011 ke base pe lete hai. Fir uper se log ko blind kar diya fake nationalism se ki hum bahut developed ho gaye hai lekin haal wahi fatichar hai ?

No nations like Indian government and people now....

In their desperation to escape India, they lie, over stay and then remain as undocumented illegals. Experts in cheating the benefit systems of host nations. Nobody is surprised except Palki.

Godi media like you and Godi YouTubers brainwashed normal Indian people and make them feel as a citizens of superpower nations, that’s why visas for Indian get rejected

You should see how Indians abuse visa. Not all. But most do and hence the restrictions. Let's keep nationalism aside for a bit. Law abiding Indians don't, but a lot of the other half want to abuse the visa route and vanish abroad to only defame their own country.

Ethics and civility will always win over so called “5th largest economy”. We should focus inwards rather than mixing everything with nationalism.

It’s about nation who is making income by rejecting visa so people will again apply and here you go….. same income again. It is tactic of government too for income

A group of 10 will travel together and they will all share one hotel room. There's your answer. Host countries want their tourists to spend money not add cost. Palki always has excuses. Blind nationalism and propaganda.

This would not happen if Indians have confidence and the will to change the nation. Looking at post independence history, we missed a golden opportunity. and we can see quite a few consequences of it now

Indians need to get out of the cocoon that they are a great nation with 3. trillion dollar economy, 100% of them has a passport but 99% of that economy is held by merely 1%. rest of the world can nevere position the passport according to the 1%.

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.

The logic behind this is Manners and adaptability. Indians choose not to sync with Host nation like Canada, USA and Europes. So they are rejecting all the Indian migrants

Palki lacks a deep understanding of global affairs and primarily comes across as a nationalist and a news anchor. Spending a few years in a developed country could help her gain perspective on what areas our nation needs to improve upon and move away from promoting misguided nationalism.

she avoided mentioning the real reason.. (many visa seeking Indians are actually not out there to spend but running away to those nations from India, and the visa issuing countries have realised it). lots of illegal Indians currently living and working in all the mentioned countries are the main reason for the downgrade in the visa ranking.

Comment box is full of Anti Indian viruses ? hello guys mind your language what do you know about Indians ?\n\nWe never feel jealous about someone else every one is happy for themselves in Arab and middle east nations...\n\nWe are not like Pakistanis and other Bangladesh who feel jealous about someone's sucess ?\n\nDo you know? 96% beggars of middle east and Arab nations are from Pakistan and Bangladesh,only these both nations...\nI know you hate palki Sharma but for that reason don't blame Indians unnecessarily...\nThink twice before talking about Indians behaviour and loyality....\nIndian community is the most successful overseas community in world ??

India does have a large economy,but is that reflected in the living standards of people across the nation? In its infrastructure? In the way people carry themselves? Or people from India moving abroad in search of work? … of course the economy is due to the the largest consumer in the world being the worlds highest populated country. But ratio of the gdp versus the population speaks volumes….

Grammatical error: 'Visa to Indians' (and not Indian Visa - which implies visa for foreign nationals for entry to India).?

China bots in multiple nationalities, themes and styles are botted up in this comment section ????

Stay home and work for Yogi Bear in UP. True national service for BJP.

Canada should not even issue 1 visa for Indian people, they ruined the entire nation with the internal differences and culture clashes.

Palki you left out the negative effects Indians or any nationality have on the economy of any nation

Henley passport index doesn't look at what nation you come from, just a simple one line formula which is : How many countries can you travel visa free

If they’re so valuable, why not stay back home and try to fix that nation? I’m sure Indian could use them more than Canada

We’re not anti immigrants. We’re a nation of immigrants. But we are cracking down on liars and criminals who pretend to be students just to disappear, for instance. It’s not “anti immigrant” to be more careful.

Hi diamond nation. Am from Nigeria. Have not get to Canada before. Please how would I get address and phone number to my resume? Please Help me out

Why can’t they explain why they need to come here? What’s wrong with India? Why can’t u fix problems in ur own nation? I’m so sick of these people

Look into how Canada treats their First Nations you’ll get all the answers you need….

Speak the truth my brother. I live in the UK and refused to go to any other EU nations or for that matter Dubai NZ Australia etc. What's wrong with Salvador Brazil, African nations, the Caribbean and Latin America? Until we as black folks decolonised our mindset we will continue to think and act slavishly to be bemusement of the Muzungus.
