Well, there are good Indians and scammers Indian. Scammers in India are causing headaches for good Indians. That is the facts. For instance, recently some Indians took a huge loan in UAE and left for Canada with that money. That has put the UAE government in a position to make the visa process more difficult to find out if bad people are getting the visa or not. I would say, the Indian government should introduce a process to thoroughly investigate a person before they apply for a foreign visa, and it should be honest to see some improvement in Indian behavior in the foreign countries. If not, that number is just going to go down. It doesn’t matter how much you scream. Do that for the sake of good Indian people.

If these is no visa restrictions on India .. half most of India would just flood in Europe, America, Australia and every other countries by being illegally.. because the passport strength also depends on how much willingness to get back to your own countries .. that won’t happen..

Indian tourists!! What a joke! They get a tourist visa but they don't intend to go back! They will overstay or trick their way to stay away from India!\nPalki is an empty shill with nationalist rhetoric

That's because Indians want to get out of India permanently.. And many Indians are dishonest, rascist, castist, and they scam artists... I am 4th generation indian south african. This is my experience with Indians

I just love it,,, i mean i just love it when we get a reality check,, i have been to 20 countries for studies, for work and as a toursit , i didnt face any visa rejection (maybe bcos my documents and funds were good) but boy o boy i just saw the behaviour of mostly hindi belt guys who go to Visa free countries like malaysia, bali, thailand and what horrible behaviour, they will spit around, drink pass lewid comments on foreigners and local ladies, try to bargain it was such an embarrassment, there were people chanting religious slogans near burj khalifa making reels, recently i visited georgia and some gujrati family was asking for seperate vegetarian cooked meals in an authentic georgian restaurant,, they were talking like they owned that place.\n\nI left india for studies in 2000 and came back in 2013, but during this time the indians were well behaved abroad and followed the rules,, maybe post smartphone era and the so called Godi media all have got a false feeling that we have become some vishwaguru just look at our comments on any videos on youtube instagram which are critical of us.\nThere was a news on one Lapdog Godi channel that Trump is crying infront of our PM that we help him in LA fires,, such shameless and bigoted lies will make any dimwit person think we are the greatest,\nIts high time we should start retrospecting our online as well as social behaviour.

First of all why there is craziness to visit abroad. Let western nations come and beg for indian visas. We have everything in our mother land. Ofcourse, we have our own problems like traffic and pollution,etc but every other nation has their own set of problems as well. IT is the root cause for this problem time and again. Getting Onsite opportunity, becoming PR and finally settling there as citizen and paying tax to that country. It may sound cliche but East or west, india is the best

It's well deserved the way some try to get in with fraud docs and wrong way...But should not be rejected, right Palki ? // cause duniya mein ab GODI and Andh Bhakt need to work harder // I thought India is already a VC ishwaguru and our danka is on top right Palki?? // and where is that sycophant Akshay Kumar who say at immigration they jostle to handle indian passports and in his words Aw Aw you are from Modis India, where is this aw aw crow sounding with a rubbish accent now hiding.????

Unfortunately a lot of so called tourists are just migrants looking for better life abroad once they go to country just stay illegally till they get caught and send back home,India is developed country just for 1 percent of population,?

World Hunger Index 2024 : India stands #105 ( severe hunger ) out of 123 Countries , Bangladesh rank #84 ( moderate Hunger ) , Nepal #75 . USA excluded India of the 18 countries to get access to A. I Technology ( doubting India's Ability ) , Trump invited Chinese President but not Modi in his Inauguration . One third of World's Extreme Poor People live in India

India must have the same policies as those countries rejecting indians from getting a visa. Tit for tat butter for fat.

Stay in India with your bad behavior and practice birth control. They are rude and rac!st and don't respect the culture of the countries they go to being so loud in their own celebrations disturbing the whole neighborhood. And they commit too much fraud to get into people's countries.

Stop fleeing and build up your home lands. The caste system is of no value to get ahead as a country by the way. Y'all should want to have your own travel to India.

The reason is that some Indian finds it difficult to integrates.\n\n I know one Indian lady that have lived in one country for over 20 years and the lady cannot speak the language of that country. What a shame! \n\nSecondly, many of them like to dominate or discriminate against other people. It has been alleged that some Indian people discriminate against others in many places they work. For instance! Where their people are in charge in Canada, they will not offer jobs to none Indian. They preferred to give the job to an illegal immigrants from india than to give it to someone else who has complete paper work. \nThe video is on YouTube. \n\nIllegal immigrants from India protest boldly in Canada asking government to give them papers but reserve is the case in India. If an illegal immigrants is found anywhere in India, the name of that person is sorry. Too many foreigners are in India prisons for minor offence or immigration matters. I can go on and and on. \n\nVisa rejection is not a bad thing!!! Everyone must protest his or her own. \n \n\nIf it is possible, everyone should stay in their own country. No movement. Do business with your own people. No international business!!! \n\nOur ancestors survived without others, therefore we can survive too. \n\nI know many people will not like this comment but it is an opinion. \n\nI still like India but will not live there. Good luck to them. \n\n\nIn my view their ascent contributes to numerous visa denials. Let's say 10% . Then 30% is forgery. It has been alleged that some of them do too many documents forgery to get to Canada or whereever they wish to travel.\n Then \n10% is women maltreatment. (stories of rape etc). \n\n Finally, india is very big, they need to use their population as a tool for development. They have all it takes to be like China. 100%\n\nWake up Indian government. Look after your citizens or divide the damn country. It is too big. ?

What about getting visa for India ? Far from getting now days

Indians are also responsible . Bad visa form filling. \nTraveling abroad to work on tourist visa. Escaping into illegal permanent stay into Europe . But yes, Indian passport should be the top 20 but it isn’t because our house isn’t in place. Basically we’re mostly good people but uncivilised , undisciplined , not all but many. Get India orderly first, clean, green, pollution free, corruption free… and if they still do the same it’s because we want to go there more then they wish to come here. Do something that makes them come here. Top quality cheap tourism, food quality, pollution free, reduce population, increase the female population , give equal rights to woman, judicial system in India sucks, court cases should be fast tracked, law should be simple direst and effective. So much for us to do, money is not the only thing that makes us get quality living. Only the rich get all this stuff…

Pompous Indian bhakts brainwashed into believing that India is the richest country in the world becoz of Gautam.. Get a hard reality check once thier visa is dumped ???????

Want to increase the chance of getting a visa? increase the standard of living and wages in India, when they notice that you have a deep pocket, they will give you a visa

To get India visa they askyou so many question your great grand father was born in Pakistan Afghanistan on and on . No one come to India rather they go to Thailand Malaysa singapore . Indonesia . Indian passport officer have no knowledge how to behave in western country , they are rude and unhelpful. Buerocracy ever where .

Maybe if bad behavior and criminal activities hits a low in India, things will change in regards of getting approved abroad visas ??

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?

Current bjp government should stop the population increase plus illegal immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh then have proper waste management courses plus civic sense classes from small classes only so that childrens develop civic sense plus restrict use of foreign apps and products in order to grow our own and get developed instead of just doing things randomly but still india is far behind global standards

Because india getting visa and they not coming back dragging others job

Starting to feel Palki is biased towards India than being an honest journalist. Did you even bother to check why Indian visas are getting rejected in these countries? What the rejection reasons were? \n\nAs many have already commented, I will put across a list for Palki -\n\n1. Indians are Indians even outside India, well, what good are you if you do not wish to be integrated and become part of the society? \n2. Do not like to research, and instead ask questions to save time which is bad manners.\n3. Complaining is in our blood about everything.\n4. Be respectful and be considerate of others.\n5. If you are applying for a tourist visa, be a tourist and should return when the visa expires. Get a good insurance which most of the time people are not un-aware.\n6. If you apply for student visa, be a student and do not exploit the visa or violate any rules and extend your visa stay.\n7. If you are hired for work, honour the work permit rules.\n8. Last but not the least, be a good citizena and don't do anything which may spoil your countries' image.

It is due to the media person like you who keep on praising India and india but never highlights the flaws and issues living in india. Which flame the indian to get out from india and settled abroad. Which is growing day by day hence forcing authorities of other nations to impose ban on indian.

Each and every country on earth knows India is over populated and poor \n\nIndians are desperate to get out of India ?

India Rising is without doubt the worst possible narrative being peddled by the anchor. It is far from the truth. \nA few already rich getting richer is not to be tom-tomed for a nation of 1.5 bn. \nBesides, if the country is doing so great why are Indians so desperate to get out. To go any country, the number of legal and illegal Indians outnumbers all other arrivals. \n\nNot to forget, the anchor conveniently brushes aside the visa abuse by Indians. \n\nIf there are so many with such stringent regulations, imagine what will be the case if there is freedom of movement. \n\nGet a reality check before reporting

Palli, do some basic research, call educated indians in Canada/US/AUS to get their feedback. They will say: \n\nYes, countries should REJECT, and only select highgly -qualified and work-experience proven people. Reject people that sjow money (black money from cheating indian-tax). If they already have job-offer guaranteed for 1 year, or got M.S with scholarship, -- allow.\n\nIf indians shit in public beaches, they can't even follow western rules -- FOCUS ON TRAINING INDIANS IN INDIA. Rather than threatening other nations to give visa.

There is nothing wrong with rigorous checks. I would want the same for India as well. Vet who gets to enter the country! No one should get a free pass. Ultimately, visitors must benefit the receiving country in some way and not impose additional burden! Would you not want rigorous checks for people entering our country through neighboring territories such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and you-know-who? Thank goodness for border control. It preserves the rule of law throughout the world.

There are too many Indians everywhere you go in the world, too many still trying to get out of India. Working in Canada at a fast food restaurant gives someone from India (Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow....) a better standard of living than a middle class living in India. States like UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan... still living in 18th century. Gujjus were the first to got out and then Punjabis and then everyone, they damaged the reputation of Indians a lot.

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.

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!

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.

India needs to ban caste based reservations enough of freebies, focus on retaining best talent, develop education, industry and control population from specific community that has 7-8 kids and doesnt contribute to the economy. They get freebies and they have no loyalty to the country.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Western heart was widened to welcome refugees who are going to depend on their tax payers money as freebies and convert to anti social elements.\nWhen it comes to Indias who want to help their host nation by their skills, hardwork and talents are getting betrayed...\n\nLet jihad love those Westerns

At the same time getting Indian visa is also not so easy. Ranking may also depend on number of tourists who want to visit. Indians these days in far reaching in numbers due to the middle class economic upliftment. It is not that India is equated with tiny unknown countries.\nNext as far as the visa rejections are concerned very few student visas and work visas are rejected. So educated lot are not rejected. Most of the rejected visas could be tourist visas, who want to go there in disguise of tourists who actually propose to go as domestic or business helpers. Of course the visa fee is high. That could be discouraging point for many who want to go for just earning and also a source of income for those governments to compensate wages to be paid to their white workers to handle umteen number of applications.

Ethics and civil behavior is needed in India itself. If people travelling in planes with a bit of money start to think they can get away with any kind of sh** then sorry but this is bound to happen.\n\nI saw behavior of some while travelling to Malaysia how some of them were just demanding business class upgrades because they had a child. Another who just sat in one seat thinking he can get away with it and gets into an argument with the stewardess. Pathetic behaviour really. It is sad we did not invest much either in our families own and in schools to correct this. We should learn how to behave in public by the Japanese. They are the gold standard.

In India visa fees are a scam and getting a visa is a gamble. I believe gambling is illegal in most parts of India.

IT IS INEVITABLE INDIA'S PASSPORT STRENGTH WILL RISE IN TIME\nIf we keep tightening Hindu grip on India & making sure foreign abrahamics never get a foot hold in India, to derail Indian growth. There are lot of forces outside who want Hinduism snuffed out because Dharma is something these Adharmis cannot tolerate. Such is the character of evil.

Noo They actually see if it's from North India and Rejection Is High ...\n\nThey'll see The Address if it says Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andra , Telangana, Kerala They won't Directly Get rejected \n\nFew years later once North Indians figures out They'll Upgrade by Asking us to Speak in Tamil , kanada , Telegue , Malayalam \n\nFew years later once North Indian Figures this Out It's goona be hard for entire India to get visa\n\n\nAll Thanks to North Indians

Indian news, and particularly your commentaries, are just nationalistic rants. You need to speak the truth and explain the real reasons why Indians have a hard time getting visas for Western and developed countries. The largest number of illegal immigrants in the US, Canada and Western Europe are Indians. Many Indians have no intention of returning to India. You should at least mention this, but not even mention this factor shows you are just tightening nationalistic sentiments,

Who said India is rising only in your Godi media look at your currency value, get a simple realty check

One thing she didn’t mention is how easy is it to get an Indian Visa. How many. Visa’s does India itself Reject?

??Why not only TWO quota in India.. [Government school quota (with non creamy certificate) AND private school quota] .. ? \nWhy insulting students by giving caste quota ? \n\n[ Read the above statement AGAIN and AGAIN ]??\n--------------------------------\nCASTE AND MANAGEMENT BASED RESERVATION is the ROOT cause of all system collapse in INDIA .... ????\n\n?Caste quota in Tamilnadu is [ 69 % ] ?\n\n?Merit is a JOKE in Tamilnadu (India) ???? \n\n????? In India LESS than (30 %) (FC & BC) use ONLY Brain and HARD WORK to get a degree ?\n\nThe rest around (70 %) also use..\n1. CASTE QUOTA ( MBC & SC & ST ) \n2. MONEY (MANAGEMENT QUOTA) \n????????\n---------------------------------\n??Caste quota is used again and again by the SAME FAMILY who developed using the caste quota..How the caste quota is going to help the POOR students from the SAME caste .. ???? \n\n?? Also..Nearly 50% of collages in India is private.. DON'T sell seats using MANAGEMENT QUOTA .. Government should take control of all PRIVATE colleges... OR if the government is not able to take over the private colleges.. Give the seat to those who have the marks and let them pay with interest when they go to the job.. to the studied private college.. \n( Give the seat to those who have the brain NOT to those who have the money) ????\n\n??Education is solely depend on BRAIN ....\nMONEY and CASTE has NO place in it.. ????
