UAE started rejecting visas because many indians dont leave the country before their visa expires and many of them dont carry enough funds for their stay in the country. Many expats ‘work’ on tourist visas too.

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

India is 5th largest economy but the distribution is skewd. Rank is determined by number of countries you can travel visa free. If the countries starting allowing people without visa or allowing people with no money then they will go there and create havoc without any accountability! eg. watch dunki movie! India should focus on increasing middle class so that these countries automatically start allowing people.

After staying in Australia for so many years, I can say that the Australian govt’s policy has changed but due to valid reasons. The visa requirements are getting stringent every year.

The west won't answer that? Seriously?\nThe reason is illegal immigration and high percentage of people illegally overstaying after visa expiry

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??

It’s common knowledge among Western embassies that granting visas to Indian citizens might lead to them starting with selling samosas and eventually excelling to take over jobs.?

The rest are suffering because of the ones who have abused the leverage in others’ land.\nDoes it make sense for an Indian store owner to steal toothbrush and be deported?\nThat owner is making money so why steal????\nPeople agree not to leave organisations they join but in less than 6 months join another one.\nGround reality!!!!!\nHence the actual potentials lose on visa as they’re assumed to be like the rest!

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?

Slowly, slowly, all the country they denied the visa for Indians. Because they are showing worst attitude. For example in Canada. Godbless you Indians ?

There should be an international law that money spend during visa processing should be returned back to the person if denied.....I see no reason u will deny me visa and hold my money with u..

Thailand,Malaysia,Singapore,China,Japan,South Korea, Brazil,African countries,Saudi Arabia and Russia( Trans Serbia) we love and planing to go.Hope Visa will be easy soon

It’s all just a way to make money. By rejecting visas again and again. Also Indians need to stop scamming countries and staying after their visa expires.

It’s all just a way to make money. By rejecting visas again and again.

Most of the Indians use fake documents to get US visa and they are in reputed companies after their Masters, but still not caught. Those who are being caught are very less in numbers compared to the fraudulently obtained. Behaviour of Indians is much worst.

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.

because tourist visa means tourism not looking for a job..

Documentation is very crucial for visa applications. I processed many visas such as visitor to nz , Schengen visitor visa, residence visas which all are successful. Interested people contact me.

India is hypocritical state\nHow many visa indian embassy it self rejected???\n\nWhy India thing so special?\n\nWhere india come, it devide people, look kashmir, Punjab

Why does every piece by Palki hav to be jingoistic rhetorics? Reciprocity sounds great on paper. How many from those countries you complained about are dying to come to India and will take illegal route if visa is denied?

Here's the thing ... We Indians should travel within our beautiful country across the south, north, east and west. Yes , beautiful India , which we Indians have to take care of,, right from cleanliness, hygiene, state of the art SUSTAINABLE amenities and quality facilities will ENSURE popular Indian tourist destinations become attractive to the world and more importantly allow Indian s to enjoy fabulous vacations without the insult of these prejudiced loot in the name of visa fees and procedures!!!

They become a nuisance to the natives when they settle in huge population so it wouldn't be a surprise if indians visas are rejected.

There is a fear those who obtain visas and enter the country won’t return back!!

Hello Indians \n*Let’s be honest => How many Indian returned back to India if they issued visit visa for 1st world countries?* Answer is almost 70% doesn’t want to return.

OK, let’s talk about it. First the visa scam that the Indians are doing (2) then playing the victim when it’s the Indians doing it to themselves. (3)Then not wanting to adapt to there new country and culture of the country. (4)Always staying within their own groups. (5) Not learning the language (English for example speaking little to no english) (6) Having poor hygiene (example body odour) (7) Taking no accountability for anything that was mentioned in the above statements.

Palki calls for a ban of Little RedNote in the US out of jealously and Chinese should call on the US to reject visa application from Indians. Fair and square.

In Palki Sharma's dream ......\n\nPalki Sharma with a crown: I am from a super power country. I command you give me a visa.\nVisa officer one knee on the ground: Your majesty, here is your visa.

Iran provide visa on arrival zero fee

No matter how big is Indian economy, overwhelming majority is poor. How can a European or US officer can give visa a person who can be a burden on them?\nA rich Indian don't have any problem to get visa of any country. Same is for other countries.

Unable to meet my siblings residing in US \n Tourist visa got rejected twice in Chennai .\n\nI am not sure what they need. Shown all the academic and Employment documents .

Well done to these nations for the rejections of those who do not deserve the visas. Indians should have a hard look at the scams they do to get these visas. Ofcourse some may be truly deserving.But immigration is there for a purpose to keep these bloody scammers out.

Because mongiji told people qeu for Indian visa ?

Its the visa regimes of sender-receiver mutual look.If India frees up like Thailand then the other nation will also do the same?

When you dont let people come in your house as people want then dont express your stupid analogy of have gates. If so why the heck you have borders on pakistan and china? Our own people are the reason why they have started rejecting visas. People come here in the name of education and then demand PR. Many come here with dodgy certificates for which some indian states are banned. Majority come here and dont assimilate but instead make their own country within a country even becoming citizens. If u r so proud why come here?

It should also be noted that visas are sometimes rejected for foreigners who wish to visit India. It is not one-sided.

Please also mention the complicated procedure that foreigners have to go through while applying for Indian Visa.

The weak passport and appeal is also affecting Indians who live as residents in some of these countries, where many internal visa services are now being discontinued for Indians.

There is no money in visa free countries for Indian’s they are not going on holidays to Europe they are going to work illegally and behave as a 3rd world citizen…Rich Indian are who are on holidays or business they get visa for long periods. They will spend or invest. Sorry to say That’s the fact

These countries should be prepared to refund rejected visa applications. Just a small service charge, those countries take the money and return 70%-80% of the balance. That's fair. Then you will know what real rejection is.

Why do people want to emigrate to a country, where layoffs are are the norm, mortgages can't be paid off, crime is rife and which is shortly going to descend into chaos? ? Those whose visas have been rejected should count themselves fortunate and do well in their country of origin - US dream is over.

Mauritians can travel to Japan and South Korea visa free.

we have a huge problem with indians coming on student visa. They usually work and do cheap courses that doesnt earn then a well paid job.

After Destroying Mosque why Indian expect Muslim Country to give them VISA ?

I admire the nationalist tone you add to the discussion. But the grim fact is that we Indians rank among of the worst offenders in visa misuse and illegal immigration. Thats something we need to acknowledge and correct. To start with, we need to have stricter outbound checks by our own authorities at airports.

No pne wants the Indians.. if india rejects visa.. no western country is going to care..

Indians have no respect for their host country and are involved in lots of crime. They bring their local politics and religion and make a mess about it here in Canada. I also think their mindset is very parochial. For example, you hear some Indians saying they are taking over Canada and behaving arrogantly. The Chinese don't behave in that manner despite the fact they have a huge population. Indian so-called talent is just a farce, It's all about cheap labour. Expect more countries to kick Indians out and put in place stringent visa policies.

The post certainly missed the main reason behind the visa rejection. The analysis is a bit fluffy.

Visa business, High income for the nation( respective USA)\nThe fund they generates, extremely high.

This report has a wrong narrative. Reason for the rising number of Visa rejection is that they are not adapting to the countries culture like what happen in Canada.
