Have you seen the stupid visa forms for entering India for European citizens? \nStop cribbing when you are making it complicated for Europeans to get a visa.\nAlso, even countries like Thailand do not want Indian tour because of the disgusting behaviour many Indian tourists bringing a bad to name to all Indians.

Indians should only be allowed to travel freely between India, Bangladash and Pakistan. That's it.

Contrary to what you said about India rising- I beg to disagree with you. Indian workers abroad are resorting to all sorts of scams everywhere they go (apple sacking Indian workers for malpractices is the latest example). Suddenly Indian people are not welcome anywhere and the falling of our passport rankings is indicative enough. Just go to Thailand and though you are free to roam around you are not really welcome!

India has to be careful not to get caught in its echo chambers. Large number of illegals in west are of Indian origin especially US and Canada. If legal immigration should have any chance, India has to crack down on the illegals. Once they get deported investigation is necessary to break the backbone of these human trafficking gangs!

What happened to Vishwaguru , superpower India why are Indians dying to leave India ?

Because Indian want to leave India because govt is corrupt because they chose corrupt politicians for freebie, reservation and caste.. so Indian as themselves responsible..

There are enough Indians all over Europe, Americas and Australia. Many of them specially in the USA and Canada are illegal in high numbers. In Canada and USA, Indians have ruined their own reputation by getting involved into fraud activities, breaking laws of the host countries by bringing people from India and making them work illegally. So, naturally, the rejection rates are much higher for tourist visa and not for business visas as such. The solution is India should build infrastructure inside the country so that people don't need to rush abroad for a better life. Equality doesn't mean providing access to anyone who can potentially misuse the resource of a country.

Why Indians are leaving India???

A lot of Indians want to leave India. That's why other countries need to be stricter

Seriously, being a traveller myself there is no place equal to India in this whole world. The lords even chose India for their avatars and here we are taking pride in visiting these places abroad which looks really a ghostly beauty devoid of divinity. I just wish every Indian should stop visiting other countries for sight seeing

Only the Indian news media and govt says India is rising in power, rest of the world still consider India a third world country. Another thing is when I was in school I had a subject called civic sense, where we were taught about how to behave in public, don't know if that is taught still, if that is not there make it a compulsory subject teach kids from childhood how to behave in public.

C'mon, you Indians, you must know what's the real problem and why there is growing sentiment against visitors from India, all over the world... Stop pretending.

Indian bloggers are ruining our chance to visit other countries.\n\nIf you go to other countries, respect their nation. Don't speak in hindi like it's North India; don't treat their country like it's Indian. Don't show your idiotic Indian personality. Be respectful to others.\n\nJust ban bloggers from going out of India and one-fourth of the problem will be solved.

How about Indian don’t stay in USA?? & build India ??

I like how you completely ignored the concerns that these governments have about indians. I get that your brand is a pro India one but please don't bury your head in the sand look at the amount of indians who overstay their visas or even enter countries like usa and canada illegally.

Because India is a superpower in the eyes of Indians but just a messy developing country for the rest of the world. A bad reputation plays a big role.

These are just a few examples from many observations. I’ve noticed that some individuals from India may struggle to adapt to certain social norms when abroad. For instance, in quiet train compartments, they might speak loudly on their phones, disturbing others who are reading or seeking relaxation. Similarly, when renting accommodations, cleanliness is sometimes overlooked, leading to issues like attracting pests. To address such behaviors, it might be helpful for the Indian government to introduce programs that educate individuals on cultural etiquette and the importance of cleanliness before they move to countries in Europe or America. Please be more civilised ?

Palki forgot the day she bragged about the indian passport being so holly ?. Even Maldives is higher than India in the index.

Indians ka poore duniya ke har shahar/city me jakar basna Hindustan ke asafalta ka sabse bada sabut hai. Japanese aisa kyun nahi karte? Kyun ke Japanese society/economy is capable of providing a good standard of living to Japanese in Japan itself inspite of having no natural resources (compared to India) and having more population density than India per sq km. Singapore is another example. 60 years back Singapore was one of the poorest countries in Asia. Today it ranks as a developed country with number 1 passport in the world as per Henley’s Passport Index. As long as Indians are busy with their religion/caste/language based politics there is no hope.

Their is limit of issuing visa they allote Cota yearly they can not allow everyone according the India population ratio is very high that's why they can't issue visa all of them and lot of other problems to issue visa for Indian they never comply with the rules in their country world observe everything

Why Indians want to leave India? Let them enjoy the development Modi govt has brought. Mean while i'll be happy if Trump kicks out Indians from US..

At airport Indians make 3 lines for boarding into plane , 1 line should be , blames India ?\nI love India but hard to teach them decipline at airport

There is more illegal immigrant from India to west learn country than western people illegally immigrants in India. That why immigration has more question than when going for visa application because many people don’t return back even after visa is expired. So this give more question for west to give visa or not for Indian visa holder

Palkee: _India will be the next superpower and its salary will rise more than 9% this year!_\nMeanwhile, India leaving from news around the world: _Indian visas being rejected._

indians are great in tons of fields but the number of visas applied so as later PR and passport applications india tops all lists all over the world

Indians need to stay in India and make India great again

I'm happy to hear that. Keep these hungry indians in india

Typical Godi Palki is at it again. Blaming the west for indian passport decline. Palki henley is an independent organisation, not owned by government. Read on google what parameters they use to rank passport. It's very simple, even someone like you would understand it. ?hopefully ? when you gonna stop this type stupid content and make true content about problems india is facing.

All because of our Vishwaguru government policies. People are escaping from India. To these countries they are migrating illegal way and now country are not giving visa they don’t want illegal Indian migrants

What a shame for us to rank at 85. And here we talk soon India going to be a superpower, we were talking that Americans will line up to get Indian visa and here we are shamelessly standing at number 85. What a joke.\nLooters only know to loot our country with rampant corruption and being an expensive place to live in.

Really good , indians need to learn to behave both within india and overseas

We Indians must agree that India is a $hithole country. First agree on this premise, so there is scope of improvement and think what to make our country prosperous.\nIn a prosperous country, every citizen will have high standard of living, will never dream of escaping away to get PR or citizenship of another nation.\nIMO, India will remain a $hithole as long as the population is above 400 million.

Indians themselves to blame. In New Zealand and Australia they used to be professionals from India but now 4/10 working in supermarkets billing, getting the ? back, subway are Indians loud, speaking their mother tongue ..major culprits are Punjabi, Hindi, Telugu and behave badly, bought to think western woman are easy. Here they smile everyone, smile and walk away. ladies here have very poor opinion on Indian men. Where is the cross cultural training ? India should not allow passports unless people pass cross cultural training

Palki Sharma demands as if every other nation has to fall on Indias feet and give them visas ??\nThat's not how it works Palki, respect must be earned. Indian tourists behavior, civic sense must be improved, the Pajit behavior should be changed. Most Indians are not civilized enough, their body language should be improved.\nLast but not the least, our population is immense and mind boggling, its a bit tooo much for any nation issuing visa.

Its because indian people elected modi government and bcoz india is elected autocracy there is no respect of democracy by our governmwnt they suppress dissidents,and they collect huge tax from indians not providing best healthcare to each and evwry indian

Does this host watched tv shows such as “nothing to declare” and “danger Tv”? Many people think that because they think that they are cleaver enough to circumvent visa interviews, falsify documents required to impress foreign embassy staff, get visa on false pretenses because they have money, connections in domestic government or someone overseas to curry favor them, then no wonder your visa application would be rejected and fees forfeited or you would be turned down entry to your dream country on arrival and deported back to your home country. People even dare to charter a flight to Maxico with a plan to cross the border and into USA, like a flash mob, without a visa. Well you don’t have entitlement for that, just like you don’t like Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Rohingya crossing your borders by any means.\nHow many Indian agents have befooled fellow Indians who want to go and work in UAE, Behrin, Muscat, Qatar, Oman, Jordan and Saudi Arabia but landed on one of the beaches of India or have their Passport taken away to make them work like a slave in servitude by their fellow Indian contractors? Let us talk about that.\nLet us talk about how many Indian parents and students so foolish to see admission in universities or unaccredited fake colleges in Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Russia and Russian federation countries but no serious intention to study but intention not to return but figure out magic trick to PR and citizenship without really caring to understand how immigration works and what would actually qualify to deserve immigration visa? Sham marriages is one of many tricks that people pursue despite knowing that chances of success are really very remote. Let us talk about that.\n\nLet us talk about fake colleges that “donations” to admit “students” who failed to perform because their parents have money to justify entitlement to buy degrees and fake colleges print it out in return to “donations”?\n\nIt doesn’t end here. You get to these destinations by hook or crook, you eventually get busted, yet you have nerves to be cocky, pretend to be robbed, discriminated, cheated, victimized instead and gather nerve to seek PR, green card, white card as compensation and even a job? I mean how far you would go thinking world is stupid and you can prove it.\n\nSORRY, there are hard working, intelligent and qualified Indians that get visa and there are people who get visa on family migration quota for example but many others, give me a break.

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.

We Indians have made India such a sit hole, that we don't want to return to India once we see any other country ?\nOpen gutters, pothole city roads, open eve teasing, gang rapes, pending court cases, no helping police, high taxes and after this loans of trillions of rupees for generations to pay.?

India is the largest producer of fake visas, fake degrees, fake documents and all sorts of scams. Canadians , Aussies , Americans and Britons want them out of their country. \nThis modi sponsored aunty is showing as if america is dependent on indian aid.

Thanks to Modi and bjo for making Indians leave India in high rate

Indians moving abroad should be decent & proper behaviour. Btw Indians should work India ?? only.

India should also treat the countries as they treat Indians. India is no more going to tolerate anything it should reply in the same language as the others understand

First look at how many Indians want to leave India for a job

1000 of Indians and Chinese were found in Sri Lanka doing online scamming, and all of them were deported, India must stop these happening in their own backyard first, check on YouTube !

You are mistaken Ms Palki. This is not true. Every where Indian passports are welcome without problem. India is the global power, strongest and fastest growing economy and a military power everyone fears.

Good time for Indians to make India great

95% of Indians do not move back to India after going abroad, and 94% of Chinese do not move back to China after going abroad.\ngood for Indians, or they deserve the rejection

There are several reasons. First off, a few Indians do certain scams that affect the country. Some students from india who apply for student visas dont go to school to study, but instead take advantage of going to work there. Indian dicipline, some countries like europe and singapore complained that indian tourists tend to be rude or dont have proper manners

Look the answer is simple, someone from Burkina Faso will not compete with an average European for his/her job. Indians will for sure. Instead of lobbying for better Visa equity, why not strive to make India more livable? We need to address that issue, that is the elephant in the room.

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
