I'm not leaving the plains yet but the rest of the world population is on the move big time.

5th largest economy in the world and your still taking handouts, start giving some back and get some etiquette.

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..

India is also exporting the their native discriminations as well such as the caste system and discrimination of other people. There are already too many Indians in this world. Indians are also too materialistic and greedy.

World is now totally against Indian hindus coz of rss bjp modi hate politics against muslims, sikhs, christians. Major religion of world are muslims and christians so we own the world not rss bjp bhakts ?

Here in Canada, we are trying to get rid of all the pajeets. They are making our beautiful country like their third world shit

Finally the world is waking up, indian scammers should not get visa.

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…

Yes, India is on the rise. Yes Indians are earning more and have more money to travel. To the world India still has a lot of poor; 266 million individuals without access to toilet facilities. Why is this happening in 2025? Nationals coming from such countries have a difficult time convincing that they will not overstay here in the US and other developed countries.

Mam wanted to remind you of your earlier quote saying after Modi in power Indians are now being respected world wide ... What happened to that esteemed pride that we have been empowered with .... Would you change your stance now

Indian people claim that India is the best country in the world and next day you will find all of them in the airport desperately trying to escape from that best country.

Is anyone left in India? Because there are many many Indians in every country in the world, even in China

We r just too messy, noisy and behavior is plain bad..we have no consideration for personal space of others and constantly bump others with our bulging stomachs...long way to go to feel welcomed by the world.

Well I was offended about the pot thing. As a Canadian I did NOT know that America's Marijuana comes from us. I thought it came from South America. \nIs it the legalization thing? Those stores didn't really last up here though. No real market for it. But it did make those preppy rich kids stick out like a sore thumb...\nAnd the foreigners certainly pushed those rich white kids RIGHT out of the marketplace. They're all jobless now....with the rest of us who lost their jobs during COVID or the Russian and Israel wars....when those foreigners wanted our jobs. Now we're on permanent no more Nice Canadian Anti-Migration revolt. ITs the tamest world conflict ever. Where are you from? Don't care. We can't discriminate. That would be RACIST. So its No to all.\n\nTotally true about Bieber though. I remember having a conversation with a friend saying 'they can keep him'.

Our own Home Grown Animosity creating media and the total lack of ANY respect for others is along with the VILE Call center scammers stealing Money from other does NOT go Down well with the Anglo Saxon/ UAE groups of countries! It should be HIGHER rejection rate considering India's GAZXA genocide DIRECT involvement we have seen this in my country Egypt you do not fare well! India is the ONLY country in the WORLD where people have been killed for eating Beef in the History of MANKIND!

5th largest economy? It is also the defecation capital of the world? Is she aware of the visa, and other call center scams from India. It is the citizens of India who are responsible for the untrustworthy reputation of India. Charity begins at home.

Well done. This India is scamming innocent people’s hard working money around the world. Need to teach their lesson. I feel sick when my phone rings. Sometimes I miss my important calls as well. \nAlways staring from Mammmmm ? and trying to robe the money ?

I'm sure the number of people applying for visas from Burkina Faso is nothing compared to India... The most populated country in the World !!

Useless indian embassies around the world wasting tax payers money. Can't believe these people are IFS qualified..

The india should ask themselves why their visa application been rejected? As we know, any country has own right to make travel regulations\nand who to allowed to enter the country. This is happening around the world and nothing you can do about it. Just take your money and\nvacation elsewhere. ?????

The world is tired of your ?

Who are we kidding, rising on the world stage as a super power. Don't make me laugh. \nSTOP KIDDING OURSELVES

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!!!

The world See the issues and wrong behaviour of India ! How the treat others it’s come back as Karma ! India think the r big Bit noooooooooooi! India Young and smart people will leave India! Bcs Indian Goverment is just horrible and keep also the criminal hassina ! Thats for what India will suffer!

What is our Feku, vishwa guru doing, he can stop wars happening anywhere in the world, he is non-biological God, is he so impotent

Thank you Modiji. Also special thanks to Akshay Kuamr who said immigration officers all across the world stand up and salute you when you show them Indian passport. wah

Awe! You really think you have some place just because! Reality check, u r not. If the world relies on Indian talent the same talent should be used in India. Crying all the time.

Really? You have to ask? Have you seen what Indians all over the world have been up to? The World is fed up….We had enough…

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.

We Sri lankans getting good.around the world.

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

Your narrative is always WE ARE ALWAYS RIGHT N REST OF THE WORLD IS IDIOT.

It's a stupid report, obviously the visa rejection will be high if the visa applications are high from a most populated country in the world it's basic common sense , i would say India have the highest visa grant these days, I'm from India came to Australia it's not ecen harf if u have the right documents and if you're not faking anything, I'm pretty sure the rejections are mostly because of fake documents especially from Punjab and Haryana so it's good that they are not letting fake people i mean then what's the point of doing all this right way? People like me who try to come in a right way

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.

This lady is out of her mind. India is still considered a third world country.

Uber rich India prefer going to UAE, Jordan and Western part of the world since cheaper destination are not seem to fit their high standard but if visa hard why not change to South East Asia or East Asia to travel.

India is the scam capital of the world sorry to say

It's because india keeps bolstering worlds 5th largest economy to the world instead of quietly doing iur business. India shouts too much outside.

The main issue is with Indian that they don’t know how to behave when they go out of India. They think that whole world is India and behave indecently like shouting, eating inappropriately etc.

all this harangues.....is tedious. why are you rooting for visas? since the 80s, i have seen any and every indian that was barely intelligent enough to be productive in the rest of the world leave the country....except one or two, whole batches of classes from our graduation, masters classes have left....and these were ppl who benefitted from the almost free higher education given the indian state...so, stop rooting for visas, s if it is a good thing for out country..unless ppl are travelling to conduct some business activities abroad, every visa obtained means one loss for india....

The just want our intellectual capacity, not our skin/ culture/ languages.\nSometimes they accept our food. That's about it. \nLogically other big countries have smaller population. Indian population only ensures they will indeed swell out to other countries. \nThe world must learn tolerance?.

NO Second KANNADA in the world ???

It was on 72 in 2014.. And total number of ranks are around 100, because there are 2-3 countries on single spot..slipping 5 rank mean slipping below 10-15 countries.. \nVisa on Arrival does not only depend on passport ranking, it depends on the host countries as well, e.g Kenya has made visa-free(Visa on Arrival) free for everyone accross the world. Most of of the touris friendly countries are issuing free Visa-on-Arrival just to boom their tourism sector...On the contrary, now we don't get any Visa-on-Arrival for any European country, earlier we had access of Visa-on-Arrival for Serbia. \nSituation is getting worse day-by-day, many countries are not accepting INR at the Airport(though you can exchange at their local market, but conversion rate is very poor)

ANGLOS ARE NOT GONNA SIT THERE & LET INDIANS BECOME MORE POWERFUL\n\nThis is Abrahamics we are talking about & that too ANGLOS. LOL at the people who think every one will be happy as India becomes powerful. Honey, that is not how real world politics works. The top dogs want you to be weak, so that they can consume you.

So much of boot licking by Journalists has bought India to this level ? ……….Continue \nAccording to Palki the whole world is against the Vishvaguru ?

India is a third world country with a very very low HDI( Human development index)

world has more than enough Indians now ??

First work on basic human behaviour..... Unhygienic no.1 in the world

Our passport ranking is similar to poor african nations what do you expect one of the worsts in the world . The government doesn't secure our countries borders to prevent illegal immigrants entering the nation and our some beloved Indians break rules and stay illegally in other countries . These are the situations of our country what do you expect from the developed world???

Indians are possibly amongst the largest group of overseas travellers just trailing behind the Chinese but the visa application process for us is one of the most stringent. . . Go to any tourist destination in the world and you’ll see an Indian restaurant and fellow Indians, but we are not shown the respect or importance we deserve by diplomatic missions of other countries.
