As an Indian living in Australia, i support the rejection of visas. Indian behave like they're living in India. Ladies in my class from punjab will speak only punjabi and ask desi lectures if they can teach the class in Hindi. \nAlso occasionally the khalistanis will do demonstrations here creating traffic. \nMany indians visiting nearby Vietnamese cities lile bali also disrespect locals there. They think all the ladies there will sleep with them for money.\n\nThe reporter should see this side of Indians before questioning the west on why they reject visas. In my opinion this reporter is biased and wont show the entire truth to the world.

Please stop criticizing every ranking, every index. Look at the amount of Indian illegal immigrants almost everywhere. UK reported 1lac of them in 2024. Why do you think any country wants this!! I mean Indians are ok to die and enter other countries illegally, drive cabs, become cleaners, earn below minimum wage than to live in India. Look at the people quitting Indian citizenship every year. Pls Palki, don't make it seem that India is amazing and all is the conspiracy of the West. High networth ppl have left India. Take some ownership. Criticism of your country for good doesn't make you bad. Waise bhi GDP me top bhi ho jaae aur per capita income low rahe toh koi danka nhi baj rha hai desh ka..

I mean as someone who has worked on the other side of things (as in deporting) the comprehension level of Indians at the immigration counter is appalling they would be asked one thing and all they would answer is but I have hotel bookings and return flight tickets… and this is not a language barrier as I interpret the interviews live…. Like why are you not listening to what is being asked? You guys need to work on your comprehension skills that’s all - Respectfully a fellow Indian.\n\nPS: Pro-tip from an insider every country just wants rock solid assurance that anyone coming in on a temporary visa would go back to their respective countries. Prove that. Simple. ?

As an American I had great love for Indians while growing up together in school. After we graduated I even travelled twice to India ( Pune, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai) for vacations.\nHowever, my experience in India was unbelievable. \nAs a young American at that time I never believed Indians could have such horrible characters even when my parents and close friends had told me about it earlier.\nAfter my experience in India I decided to pay closer attention to any Indian I came across in the US, and surprisingly i discovered Indians are not only very corny by nature but are also very self centered, greedy and selfish kinds of humans. Although not all Indians, but 8 out of 10% naturally have this character which is disgusting indeed.\nFor a long time most people never noticed that about Indians because they pretend to be quiet and mostly gentle. However behind an Indian soft and gentle appearance lays very corny, crooked, self centered, and double standard fellows.\nAnyone who doubts my observations should also make the research by themselves.\nYes, they are good bad and ugly people in every race and country, but Indians are clearly out of the context as their double standard and corny life styles of extreme pretence are undiscovered danger to any society.

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..

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…

Tell the truth to your Indian community the reason India is losing its passport acceptance because they have lied to developed countries. IT guys are under qualified what they have shown on their degrees most of them have bogus degrees that's why Canada have failed all Indian students they could not pass Canadian entry level test, USA has also have found out the hard way that Indian coming to USA have lied on their degrees and not qualified for the position. All scammer are from India, look in u tube scammer tracker and see how they cought scammers from India. Please wake up and do not listen to GODI MEDIA factitious development all in papers but in reality India still veiy very poor country, all is well documented and well documented in western media, recent study shows that India is 111th nation in hunger index out of 125 countries of the world ? well documented all I said is well documented all I did just reiterated.

She always tries to sound like there is an agenda against India. Check timestamp 3:07. There is no agenda, let me explain why.\nThe rejection rate is a better measure than rejection numbers or visa fees. And I'm pretty sure that India has a lower rejection rate compared to many other countries. It is the sheer volume of applications that contribute to this. Even 1% rejection on 100k Indian visas is a 1000 rejected visas. While a less populous country may have 10% rejection out of 1000 visas which is 100 rejections. So, in % terms, India fare well despite having higher rejections.\nFiring shots at Kosovo, Cuba and B Faso is a cheap shot and unnecessary to push the point of passport rank. All countries have a right to determine who they allow into their country with lower restrictions. And they are under no obligation to open the gates to anyone. It is also common knowledge that the newer cohorts of Indian immigrants to the West are a bad representation of Indian society (best example - Canada). Hence the rising anti Indian Immigration stance. Immigration is a privilege and not a right. I hope that the Indian community understands that the visa rejections are a lesson and not an insult, and that they learn from this and become better ambassadors when they go overseas.

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.

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

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. ?

Blessed New Year to all ... The reason for that is there are some Indians that come to the Caribbean overtakes and there are few locals to even have businesses and it been happening worldwide and there are some Indians whole scam people for the whole life living and that is why there's a trust issue they are faithful Indians their scam Indians and they are hardworking Indians and they are different Indians who just rely on their wealth to conquer but that is why other nations will feel threatened and feel that this is what they're coming to do so the best thing to do right now is cut it from the root and that is what is happening right now because on my island what we call front Street and back street is nothing but Indians and the local of growing frustrated ? about it because the island produced jewelry stores cosmetics electronics there's nothing there screams local so that is why people are getting fed up of it and they blame the government that is why I have heard on the street a lot of Indian blood will be shed

First of all this reporter is biased and always tries to hide the skeletons in the closet. I will tell you which is real elephant in the room. You know why countries like Cuba and their passports are more powerful than Indian passports? Because after the visit Cubans return back to their country whereas Indians will stay back in the host nation by any means. Plus most of the Indians do not represent their country well by their unsophisticated behavior.

True! West won't answer your question but You too are hiding significant details in this video. Also true, West relies in Indian talent however that does not mean the talented ppl should be above the social construct. In US DFW airport as soon as you exit the airport premises you will start smelling awful odor, walk few steps ahead you will see the reason, all the poles are covered with a grainy red paint like stuff, which as a proud Indian, you would definitely know what it is. Its not like the administration don't clean the place, however, it is still in that condition. This is just 1 of many reason why Indians are being looked at as nuisance these days. Also, what is with Indian mindset to turn everyplace into India, yes culture, tradition and diversity should be welcomed, accepted, and tolerated but if your behavior borderlines with colonizing then, things will head south very fast and that is what most of the Indians do. And finally, what is with Indian behavior, if they are treated with respect they misunderstand it with being submissive and try to dominate the people that are being respectful until they are shown their place and if they are misbehaved then they act as if they are being discriminated. So as a media person, it would be a good thing if you publish a video telling Indians to learn ethics, learn social sentiment, learn proper behavior, and most of all learn to quit back-stabbing behavior before they leave for other countries and I believe in a decade or two these misfortunate events will slowly start to decline.

First, let’s admit the truth—why do Indians rush to Western countries? Not because they’re just “visiting.” They’re chasing jobs or education. And guess what? They don’t reject those wealthy Indian passports when it’s time to leave! ? Many Indians dream of a Western lifestyle, but here comes the plot twist: the current Indian government is playing a double game, crushing those dreams like an overripe mango. ?\n\nNow, poor Palki is out here screaming about Western policies, but honestly, it’s all noise with no sense. The Western world doesn’t revolve around India, sorry, baby. ?✨ Check your foreign policy before making grand speeches—it’s giving “wannabe boss energy.” ?

And she says people have pride in holding Indian passports. It’s an absolute shame to at such rank in Passport Index \n\nWhen something goes wrong rather than accepting the mistake they say all sorts of nonsense and blame everyone else \n\nAnd BTW, the west does not rely on Indian talent on rely on cheap labor

First of all ,Save India from Indians, our ancestors gave us the beautiful land and people destroying this..then they decided not to stop here going to foreign land, showcasing their insensible and unethical behaviour making the whole civilisation embarrased, not following the laws, disturbing other societies.. and holding fake proud of showing off ..and always blames the authorities who are doing good..whts the meaning of 5th largest economy and growing infratsructure if our country still hold 84th passport rank ..Plus an average indian with an uncivilised behaviour representing in foreign land responsible for embarrassment of 1.3 billion people..learn some civic sense and you wont be the reason for racism dont ashamed whole civilization think about our ancestors, respect the law, contribute in economy and be bring peace wherever you go..and thanks for contributing in foreign remittance we are 4th largest

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.

Palkhi as much as I like watching your news your views here need to address real issues. I am a proud Indian who has lived in the UK for over 50 years. However I have to say whilst there are a lot of highly skilled Indian immigrants on work visas who contribute immensely to this country. however we now have a huge community of Indians those who have come over on illegal documents or on holiday visas and then never go back. They end up working in menial jobs or not working at all and perhaps this is an issue India needs to address. Sadly these immigrants will never be an economically contributing asset to this country or any other country and I am not surprised that the visa rate rejection is so high.

This lady was once praising dignified Indian passport and gorifying Modi, The truth could not be supressed but it came out. All the Godi media try hard to hide the reality of India currently. They try to impress BJP govt by displaying sab changasi kind of news. Not talking about low GDP, High taxes, low Indian currency, communal disharmony and riots. Shame on this kind of media who try to mislead 1.4 cr Indians just to please handfuls of politicians.

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!

Demand and supply...I dian can fill up the entire flight schedule that pushes up everything in those small nations.\n\nThe desperation is akin to causing stampede a nation of billion plus can make anybody jittery as a visa official they have no idea that people are instagram slaves and just want pretty pictures which will definitely not happen due to crowds of same Indian and also why all of us people with resources want to go abroad to study to travel to vacay it's loss making proposition..

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

Visa Rank does not matter, tell the in depth news, Indians in US do only high class work and are richest, any nation do not want only Indians. Does it sound good to have only rich Indian :) lol no. If I had to decide I will make a balance to bring people from all countries to do all kind of job right.

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.

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.

It's very contradicting to hear that Hindus are the most law-abiding citizens, highly educated, good jobs, helping in their society. And now, I am wondering who these Nepotism ones are using Indian passports and from where the negative accusations are from. Who are the culprits in these cases, and don't forget there is also lots of hate created toward Hindus, their way of life, temples, being headans, not belonging to the abrahamic majority in any of those countries.\nMy sincere advice, don't visit abrahamic countries at all. They have broken, severed, you from your own culture, taught you to be like them, yet they all refuse you like you should not exist, not someone or something like them. Why doesn't anyone just wise up and stay in their own habitat? By the way, so you know, Shiva Ji himself if anyone has read the bhavishya purana, said to us to avoid going in such countries or be with those barbaric asurs and mleccha. But, if you've forgotten those roots, it's only understandable you want to feel belonging within those who despise you already in one or many ways. Like Shrimati Palki said, go only to those few countries for the time being. In the meantime, take very good care of those you love and learn how to protect them in a world that is very hostile against all Hindus, Sanatani's.

First of all . I am an Indian living in Australia. \n1. The way some of us are behaving in these countries is the worst . Instead of respecting their culture and laws, we start behaving in the same way as in India .\n2. I don't want to put it out, but some people from certain places have a ready solution even if the immigration change their rules . They know every means to cheat their way in. \n3. Take, for example, 200 people come from other countries and do nonsense in India. Will we allow them ? Noooo, right ... but right now, thousands of our Indians are damaging other countries, bringing all kinds of dirty activities we do in India .Unnecessary protests are just 0.1% of them\n\nThis is the best decision taken by the other countries and it should become more strict in the coming days

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....

Stop having kids if you cant take care of them indias problemas are not the worlds problem over 28 million indians have fled india and even renounced their indian citizenship shamefull \n\nThe 25 million who traveled abroad did the come back ???\n\n5th largest economia where 90 % of Indians are poor ?????? all trying to flee India as they hate India\n\nThe West doesn't rely on Indian talents Indians rely on the the western companies they work for for dirt cheap by the way ?

Indians are running away from India in bulk, the concept of Supply and Demand is applicable everywhere, the supply of Indians trying to run away from India is far more than the demand for these people in other countries..as an Indian I would like other countries to send all these people back to India, most of these people belong to the families of corrupt Politicians, Government officers and the Tax evading businessmen.?

Factors that contribute to a passport's power :\n\n1. International ties:\nCountries with strong international ties tend to have more powerful passports \n\n2. Economic stability:\nCountries with stable economies tend to have more powerful passports\n\n3. Mobility score:\nThe higher the mobility score, the more powerful the passport\n\n4. Human Development Index:\nThe higher the Human Development Index, the more powerful the passport\n\nClearly all of Modi's efforts of hugging and smiling with foreign leaders hasn't done shit to improve the Indian Passport rank.\nTalk about Human Development Index, I guess eating cowdung and drinking cow urine doesn't count in Human Development Index. ???

It is very good...I hope a day comes...all counries west of India reject Indians...travel within India....India has everything ..beahes, mountains, forests, waterfalls, desert....probably Indian babus out of shame and greed will then improve the infra within India

Do Indians higenic in their own country and abroad?\nDo South Indians welcome north indians in their states ?\nThe one who goes abroad for study do small part time jobs, will they do the same thing in India ?\nAlmost 50% of Indian students study on subsidies which is a tax payers money, do they wish to contribute back by working in India?\n\nIf answer to all these is NO why would any other country will welcome you ? Is it government' false ?\n\nIf we are saying Indian middle class is growing in numbers then how could a bad economy policy will grow this numbers, If the polocies are so bad number of poor people would have raised in numbers

I went to NZ for a holiday a year ago. Honestly, the Kiwis don't like Indian at all. I have one broker who asked me if I can get him 20 to 30 people from the Philippines because he wants to get rid of his Indian employees. \nAccording to him, they complain a lot and are very lazy. \nI mean, I have no idea if it's true, but it was just based on this local perspective.

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.

Bangladeshi Pakistani use good reputation of India to survive all over the world. They open Indian restaurants, disguise as Indian to get jobs etc but spread hate towards India and Indians out of jealousy.

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.

The Rejection rate is still very low . India can also do more to prevent illegal immigration to other countries. That gives all Indians a bad image and more scrutiny when they apply for a Visa. Like Requiring all Indians travelling overseas to have a return ticket and digital copy of their Visa, passport that can be accessed by the Indian embassy in the country they plan to visit . So if they are illegals or lose their passport, the India Embassy/Gov will know or be able to help them with a new passport to travel back to India. Digital copy is to be submitted to the Indian Embassy in the country they plan to visit days before departure, with conformation .\n\n These simple steps will bring more credibility to Indian Passport holders.

@3:30: Burkino Faso, Kosovo and Cuba have tiny populations. Even if their entire population migrated, the locals in the country receiving them would hardly notice any difference. Not so with India and its 1.5 billion population, many of whom want to migrate only because the neighbour's/aunt's/uncle's son also went abroad. Announce a liberal visa regime for Indians one day, and within a year, your country would start looking like Chandigarh or Ahmedabad. While most countries are ok with some diversity, no one wants to be overrun by foreigners, even if the foreigners in question are Indians who are generally law abiding and hard working. And then there are the 'smarter ' types who fake documents and produce bogus certificates to get visas and even pay human smugglers to take them abroad if their visas are rejected. It's for all these reasons why India's passport is ranked at 85. The only reason why India doesn't fall even further is because there are bigger basket cases like India's 'friendly' neighbors who are sitting tight below.\nIf India wants equitable treatment, it should first make itself the best place in the world for an Indian to live and work in. The more you rely on the others for visas, the more likely they are to refuse you.

India is one of great country in the world,why are they trying to go other countries?.All Indian citizens try to stay in their country and build,

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.

India is the 5th largest economy. Is that the reason why Indians any level should not be rejected visas. Well, out of all Indian revenue 90% wealth belong to only 10% population and rest of all Indians are living below poverty line. Usually those who can prove that they will return to India from countries like Australia, UK, New Zealand, EU, UAE and USA as you mentioned then they are given visas, otherwise no luck.

Now all the countries around the world know that Indian come in but never want to leaving. The people of the world are waking up to see the true. Indian Student come for work not to study and visitor visa come in also to work.

How about a few more major reasons why Indian Visas are being rejected by most of the countries. It's not anti immigrant it is anti -indian sentiment because of our uncivilized behavior, breaching visa conditions and seeking asylum all over the world. It's not western world that needs our talent, in fact India needs the west to export our talent because we can't afford our population. Sadly, government officials are helping the human traffickers to create forged documents and police cases so that they can make a valid excuse. Indians are being hated everywhere because of India.

I am surprised that Canada is not yet in this list. The Indian crowd has already overpowered all other nationalities and upsetting the balance of ethnicities.

Main reason because our citizens abuse their privileges. We don't know how to behave. UAE has the maximum number of Indian citizens seeking visit visas but actually attempting to work there. I am a travel agent, so I know what I am talking here. In the meantime, Palki Sharma can conjure up all the explanations she wants and keep crying crocodile tears. ?

I'm not against Indian immigration I'm against all immigration at the moment no matter what part of the world you come from Asia, Europe, Africa it's way to much for Canada. And if i could get rid of one specific group of people it'd be the french.

Blame butcher Modi’s rookie secret service copying Mossad carrying out Sikh assassinations in peaceful Canada that let its guard down. Now all the developed West, including Australia and New Zealand, is spitting on all things Indian. Once admired Indians, including India, is now becoming the disdain of the world. They already started the Brown Round Up in Oregon.

They are indians in usa, I don't understand why they needed visa if they are NRI they should have indian passport and if they have usa passport and have renounced indian citizenship, why did they not apply for OCI. i guess they never planned to come to india that often and this is just an one of affair so they didn't bother to get the OCI. Idiotic in my opinion, if god forbid they get in any trouble with the general hostility towards indians growing especially in USA, they should keep the option to just pack up and leave without all this visa issues on a moments notice.
