HK is one of the best and safest cities in the world. I have been living here since 1996. Immigration will definitely check all documents thoroughly before they let you in. Reason why Indian citizens are in trouble is mainly due to so many Bangladeshis getting into India via Agartala and other border districts and there are agents in Kolkata to get these illegal immigrants, an Adhaar, PAN ration card etc and then they apply for Indian passport to travel overseas and stay illegally or claim refugee status. This is the reason a genuine visitor from India is also suffering. Our on arrival 3 months Visa got reduced to 15 days and then now to this pre arrival approval formality. HK immigration caught this illegal activity and informed Indian Consulate many years ago. Don’t blame HK immigration for all this bad experiences. We are equally responsible for this.
Amazing video! Being a person living in HK, I can say that the immigration here is the smoothest in the world if you are a resident. We can enter the country like we enter an office building by just tapping the card. At the same time people holding PAR - especially from few countries(including India) and from few Indian states can have horrible experience. My friends complaining about this to me stating this is due to discrimination. But I can surely say, the immigration officers here are so polite in general. This issue is purely because of few people who crossed their limits as a tourist in a foreign country. So, - get the PAR done well in advance. - book a valid ticket to and from and hotel. - if you are going to macau, you can book the ferry in advance too and have the ticket. Thats all you need. HK is surely a good place to travel
Hi, I have been to HK a few times. Once, I made a side trip to Macau and re-entered into HK without any problems. My travel history was not that great either. What you mentioned is absolutely correct - few bad elements from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh cause problems for genuine visitors. But, there is a different problem here. They let you in without any problems when you first landed in HK from BLR. They could have interrogated you there as well but they did not. Although there are various reports of people from South Asian countries being interrogated when they first land into HK including Indians. But they thought you are a genuine traveller and they let you in. The reason I believe you faced problems while returning from Macau is because that trip is kind of a visa run. A visa run is a technique where a person visits a neighbouring country and re-enters to reset the numbers of days that he/she is allowed to stay. For example, you first enter HK, get 14 days to stay, you stay for 12 days and go to Macau in the morning , return by the evening, the HK immigration has to give you another 14 days to stay by law if they decide to let you in. Because you stayed for 12 days previously, they cannot give you just 2 more days to complete the 14 day cycle. It has to be 14 days again. That's the legal framework they have in place. Theoretically, you can do this on and on till your PAR expires and be there in HK for about 5-6 months, all you have to do is, make a side trip to Macau at the end of every 14-day period. Anyway, great content! Wishing you good luck for your future travels 👍 Have fun.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I’m living in Hong Kong for last 16 years. It’s a great city and first day I arrived in HK, I was drilled too, they have no other choice …it’s not just few Indians, there are thousands of overstayed Indians here, they give a bad name to the rest.
I have been settled in Hong Kong since 2011, there are few issues (Over stay, crime, drugs etc...) mainly from South Asian countries, HK immigration people are very good and respectable, yes they do check all documents and confirm with Hotels/airlines, don't have to worry for real tourists, please carry all required documents, this will make you clean entry and exit.
Hong Kong is World Top safest and most beautiful country and 👌. I have been living from 10 years in Hong Kong. Whenever you visit first time to Hong Kong , try to keep all documents with originals.
I m at present in hong kong and returned today from macau 6/11/2024. They stop indians randomly and question stupid questions. Very bad experience S Should avoid going to hongkong. And spend our money to a country who is friendly with indian
Similar aspect happened to me during a solo trip in Indonesia. Immigration officers needed a bribe. But, i directly told them to contact Indian embassy. Later, they left me without any questions. If we are scared, then they take that as an advantage.
@@A2ZwithSush HK is a highly developed place and immigration over there takes no bribe and would be more willing to send them back to India than contacting any embassies, and leave anyone that they believe is inadmissible. With due respect
Well I recently visited Hong Kong as well, but I was travelling solo with PAR and the immigration held me at the airport, They took nearly 1 hour and then let me go, it was really bad experience as after that I visited thailand again solo, but they didn't ask me anything and simply stamped my passport and let me go. I think a lot of Indians do overstay so immigration really checks South Asians more than other people and it actually feels bad that we have the reputation of over staying and just not following local rules of the country we visit.
Brilliant explanation . However, this is not the problem of you visiting Macao and coming back. Honestly its just the HK government and immigration doing their job. Anyone returning multiple times will be a concern for the HK immigration considering you have left the city and came back a day later. Its understandable. My uncle works and lives in china and has a valid PAR, comes and goes to and from HK a lot, and gets stopped often. But once everything is clear, they are happy to let him go. HK immigration is honestly one of the best i have ever experienced, having lived here all my life. But again, your bookings and history did make your case a lot more interesting you favour.

Actually you should say strict immigration instead of worst immigration. There are too many reasons this thing is happening as you said either since 2017.
The Sad reality here is that PAR does not guarantee you entry to HK. It just means that you have intimated the government that you would be coming. After PAR your entry still depends on the immigration officer.

Legal documents are legal one. Never take any immigration forms and papers lightly. And whenever you travel, travel with all supporting documents. Dont blame just hk immigration.
Multiple time pre arrival form is not a visa it’s for your convenience not to fill the form every time you visit to HK within 6 months time secondly many visitors from India has become asylum seekers after they enter to HK there for they refuse entry to Indian nationals specially younger persons
Very common when you enter Hong Kong back from Macau for Indians. Can blame some of our shameless fellow Indians who love to stay back illegally. The authorities are just doing their job. They stopped me too but once I showed them my valid return flight ticket, they let me go[just took 10 minutes extra time]

I got hong kong visa single entry. And chinese visa.. so, i have decided, 1st i will go to hong kong then go to macau and then i will go China from macau.. is it okay??
But be careful man , my PAR rejected , I am from kolkata . Applied visa also got rejected . They give no reason at all . I was also trying to take a trip to HK for the first time with zero previous trips .

I have a plan of total 8 days inlcuding both Hong Kong & Macao I will be in Hong kong from 9 sep to 14 sep (6 days) then will go to Macao on 14th Sep and stay their one night and will be back on 15th sep to Hong kong. I have a flight back to India from hong kong on 16th sep morning My query is I heard that they only give E-Visa for 7 days. So as I am travelling to Hong kong (7 days) and Macao (1 day) for total 8 days. Though I have mentioned in my E Visa application the duration as 8 days . If they grant me for 7 days.. can I still follow the above itinenary. As techincally I will be in hong kong only for 7 days .. please revert as soon as possible

@@SoftwareTraveller yes bro. But I don't want to go to hong kong city. Directly to hong kong airport from Macau. So is another PAR Needed ?? I am also in Bangalore 😊
Hi. Pls pls guide me. While filling the pre arrival, i filled in name of different hotel and post booking we ended up booking a different one. Will there be a problem. Will i have to re submit the pre arrival? Also, i filled my 9 year old sons pre arrival as self booking as i was just trying to explore the process. Do i reapply his as dependent. No clarity at all
I have one doubt , indians have free visa countries, If an Indian wants to go to that countries only go from India (departure) Or if i already go to some other country like the USA, From the USA to Thailand as an Indian go on a free visa. Or do I come back to India then go to Thailand i get a free visa?
Ya i got ur question, np if u travel from anywhere on indian passport, rules are same but u need to show additional documentation for the country ur departing
Hey…. My younger brother is living in Hongkong and I am going to meet him this month…. Is there any need to book any hotel.? Because I am going to live with him at his place … and 1 more thing my PAR is rejected but got a visa by paying 230 hkd ….but PAR of my kid is accepted… to isse kuch problem to nahi hoga??
@@nktmishra2 hi I am a resident of HK you don’t need to even show dummy hotel. Get a letter from your brother addressed to the immigration stating that you are visiting him and they are very professional
its unforunate that it happend to you. I visited HK and MAC as well. My travel route was the same. I flew from Kempegowda to HK via CATHAY Then i went to MAC via Bus route , returned back to HK via Ferry BUT on the same day.... i didn't stayed over night... and officer just asked me to show my return ticket i showed them in my phone and that's it i was allowed to leave. Infact my PAR had a spelling mistake not in name but in Place of birth but i think officer overlooked it :-P maybe i just picked the right counter ( I was lucky that day ) and you were not :-D
Well it's more to do than with luck to be honest, this wasn't just me i thought the same it was just me but when I spoke to people there and when you read the comment section here it's inevitable that this is the generic tone for Indians when travelling abroad
I don't think HK immigration should be blamed; we should be blamed. Out of 100%, 70-80% are genuine travelers, and it's the 20-30% of people who have tarnished our image.
Recently I contacted tour travel for Hong Kong. They said now they are accepting PAR for Indians. Look for other alternative they said. Is it true ? Plz tell
Hi brother I have entered my birth city right in Par but not mentioned state, my Par is successful, do I need to worry or register PAR again? Please let me know. All other details are perfectly ok!” I am travelling with wife and 2 kids!!!!Please revert back brother!!! We also have a good travel history like 5 countries in last 3 years!!!!
I am planning travelling to Hong Kong in Oct. I have a connecting flight from Don Mueang (Thailand) with a layover of around 1.5 hrs. Do i need to take any Visa for Thailand?
Probably your nationality is the issue not the immigration authorities of any countries. Don't want to bring this up. You people are infamous in Hong Kong and other major airports and immigration counters due to immigration issues. I worked there and can testify that only people from your country would bump into such troubles. No one else, NO ONE. Because your passport is basically worth less than the value of a draft paper that you guys basically need a visa going to basically every single country on earth, and have a wonderful record of refused entry due to multiple different reasons. So now you know my friend, please get on with this, and stop complaining, while you are going to somebody else's place as a tourist. If you are not liking it, then "have a good one".
You cannot generalize everyone based on the region! I think this comment is too racist in my opinion and you need to have more maturity to realise that because of a few individuals the whole nation doesn't become weak!
@@SoftwareTraveller if based on intuition, yes I am racist. If based on experience and statistics, that’s fact. You have no idea how troubling Indian travellers are. I don’t mind listing them out. 1. wheelchair: each flight coming from India is filled with wheelchair passengers who can walk properly and not old. The only reason that are spamming this is because they are “tired”, afraid of getting lost in the airports and it is free. Passengers who really need them usually gotta wait an hour to either leave the airport or go to their connecting flight. (Average wheelchair passengers per my past experience for a DHLHKG flight, there would be around 40-50 healthy pax asking for wheelchair.) 2. “PAR”: not sure if this is correct term. Half of the Indian travellers tends to either intentionally or accidentally fill out the wrong or false information applying for this thing, and once they arrived they got found out and refused. And then the conclusion usually coming out from their mouths is, which is same as yours sir, because of racism. How sweet. 3. Immigration issue. A large chuck of INAD or inadmissible traveller is from your country. They are denied by the country of their destination, and sent back to HK. However they were unable to enter HK due to either Immigration reason too or PAR problem. And 90% of the time, these people would blame the airline for not helping them or the immigration being discriminatory. 4. Transit. When a large group of traveller needs to catch a tight connecting flight, they will stay so close to the ground staff who help them go through check points and escort them to their exact departure gates. But 99% of the time, a large chuck of Indian travellers would go missing as they either went to bathroom or 7-11 or buy souvenirs from the stores, even if they were told not to. How selfish. And then they miss their flights and get to wait days in airside as all the flights are full and this would usually go back to my point#3. (And I assure you this isn’t a single incident) This is based on real experience my friend. If calling me racist would make you feel better, then I am mature and racist perhaps. 😂 #this happens basically every single day across airportSSSS. And it’s not just 1 or 2 pax who act this way.
@@SoftwareTraveller How is my comment racist if it is based on factual experience and stat. Below is the typical traveling behavior of your countrymen. 1) Wheelchair: Normally there would be 40-50 wheelchair requests for each of the flight coming from your country. The majority of the wheelchair users are unfortunately healthy and not old. the only reason that they are using this is because they are afraid of getting lose in the airport, claiming that they are too "tired" to walk, and more importantly able to use it for free. Whereas those who really need this service need to wait for hours, before your fellows are all clear and escorted to their connecting flight. How selfish and unfair. 2) PAR Issue: A lot of your countrymen are either intentionally or accidently providing false or untrue information when applying the PAR. And once found at the immigration checkpoint over there in HKG, there were either refused entry or taken to secondary inspection. The conclusion, hilariously, that usually comes out from your countrymen's mouth is that they were treated "unfairly" or the immigration authority is being discriminatory against them. How sweet. 3) Refused entry: A large chuck of passengers (or we call pax) who got refused (INAD) is of Indian nationality as result of different immigration reasons. They were refused entry to their final destination(s) and needed to return to HKG. But as a result of refused entry, most of them would be unable to enter Hong Kong. At that point, your people would interestingly blame the airline staff for not helping them deal with the immigration. How ridiculous. 4) Tight connection: When there is a tight connection, all passengers going to those flights would be escorted to their respective boarding gates so that they don't miss their flights. Most would follow the rules and stay close to the airport staff, except for one nationality - Your people. A large chuck of them would go missing because they either walk 0.1 mile per hour as if they don't fucking care, need to go to toilet without notice, go to 7-11 for drinks, or need to buy souvenirs from stores. And ending up, most of these people would further delay the flights or miss the flight. This is extremely unfair to those travelers who is rushing like hell. And for those who miss the flight, they would need to stay in the airside for hours or days because THEY WERE UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE PAR due to the powerfulness of your passport. And this would bring us back to scenario (2) or (3) or both. And interesting, they would once again blame the ground staff for not helping them leading to their getting lost. How convenient. I don't mind giving you more example. I know what you are gonna say my friend - THIS ISN'T THE MAJOITY. But i am sorry if these people constitute 30-40% of your gigantic travelling population, then your people are already good enough to be categorized as trouble makers. If calling me a racist makes you feel less embarrassed or happier, then i am a "mature" racist. Hope this gives you a bunch or some senses of what your countrymen really are in airports. Period.
@@loedward1308 India has 1.8 billion people jus because of few people whole nation isn't bad! If you don't get the point then its upto you! I am not like that and people whom I know arent the same as well! So say what you got to say!
@@SoftwareTraveller 1) Your country do not have 1.8 billion people --------> Correct answer 1.417 billion (2022)' 2) Assuming only better people can travel from your country.

Mostly transiting from land or sea makes them suspect the bad reasons a lot. Never happens if you transit through the airport. Still great information

If you are genuine then should have no issues, if improper travel plans then chances are you’ll get heavily questioned
Time will waste in interrogation
Be prepared for a possible worst experience. If you are allowed without hassle, it is proven that God is with you

They stopped me too but once I showed them my valid return flight ticket, they let me go[just took 10 minutes extra time]
10 mins is well fine but it was an hour for me
Hi, we have booked our tickets to Hongkong but pre arrival is rejected. We only have 20 days in hand, what is to be done? Is there any option or will we have to cancel our tickets?🥺 we have tried 7-8 times but all times unsuccessful and reason unsaid.
Can't help in this case, one option is to get mainland visa
I got hong kong visa single entry. And chinese visa.. so, i have decided, 1st i will go to hong kong then go to macau and then i will go China from macau.. is it okay??
Yes that should be fine
Would it be wise to travel to hong kong without any travel history? Like for the first international trip from india?
thats not a problem at all, if u get PAR then no issues, apply for PAR, check my PAR video
But be careful man , my PAR rejected , I am from kolkata . Applied visa also got rejected . They give no reason at all . I was also trying to take a trip to HK for the first time with zero previous trips .
@@lazysum 0 previous trips dosent matter for HK
Hi, I am travelling to Hong Kong and then going to Macau for 1 day, and travelling back to India from Macau only... Is there any problem? Please suggest

Hi bro, I keep getting Pre arrival registration is unsuccessful for my application, Looking at online, it seems to be based on Location.
Is your place of issue: Bangalore by any chance ? If Yes, Then I should probably apply my passport again from Bangalore ASAP !
Yes mine is Bangalore, what's ur location?

Hi Sir,
I have a one query.
My PAR got rejected , so me and my wife both have applied for E-Visa.
I have a plan of total 8 days inlcuding both Hong Kong & Macao
I will be in Hong kong from 9 sep to 14 sep (6 days) then will go to Macao on 14th Sep and stay their one night and will be back on 15th sep to Hong kong.
I have a flight back to India from hong kong on 16th sep morning
My query is I heard that they only give E-Visa for 7 days. So as I am travelling to Hong kong (7 days) and Macao (1 day) for total 8 days.
Though I have mentioned in my E Visa application the duration as 8 days .
If they grant me for 7 days.. can I still follow the above itinenary. As techincally I will be in hong kong only for 7 days .. please revert as soon as possible
Hello, We are also planning to go to Hongkong and my Wife's PAR got rejected. I have few queries applying e Visa? Could you please message me your number ?
Can I go to hong kong airport directly from Macau. Is again PAR Needed ??
@@navasr7969 Macau visa is not required for Indians, but if u wanna enter HK again u need multiple entry par
@@SoftwareTraveller yes bro. But I don't want to go to hong kong city. Directly to hong kong airport from Macau. So is another PAR Needed ?? I am also in Bangalore 😊
Hi. Pls pls guide me. While filling the pre arrival, i filled in name of different hotel and post booking we ended up booking a different one. Will there be a problem. Will i have to re submit the pre arrival?
Also, i filled my 9 year old sons pre arrival as self booking as i was just trying to explore the process. Do i reapply his as dependent. No clarity at all
@@binalishinde2306 that's not a problem for hotels, I did the same
I have one doubt , indians have free visa countries,
If an Indian wants to go to that countries only go from India (departure)
Or if i already go to some other country like the USA,
From the USA to Thailand as an Indian go on a free visa.
Or do I come back to India then go to Thailand i get a free visa?
Ya i got ur question, np if u travel from anywhere on indian passport, rules are same but u need to show additional documentation for the country ur departing
Hey…. My younger brother is living in Hongkong and I am going to meet him this month…. Is there any need to book any hotel.? Because I am going to live with him at his place … and 1 more thing my PAR is rejected but got a visa by paying 230 hkd ….but PAR of my kid is accepted… to isse kuch problem to nahi hoga??
@@nktmishra2 nah np at all, hotels don't worry jus carry dummy hotel bookings and then cancell it
@@nktmishra2 hi I am a resident of HK you don’t need to even show dummy hotel. Get a letter from your brother addressed to the immigration stating that you are visiting him and they are very professional
its unforunate that it happend to you.
I visited HK and MAC as well. My travel route was the same.
I flew from Kempegowda to HK via CATHAY
Then i went to MAC via Bus route , returned back to HK via Ferry BUT on the same day.... i didn't stayed over night... and officer just asked me to show my return ticket i showed them in my phone and that's it i was allowed to leave.
Infact my PAR had a spelling mistake not in name but in Place of birth but i think officer overlooked it :-P
maybe i just picked the right counter ( I was lucky that day ) and you were not :-D
Well it's more to do than with luck to be honest, this wasn't just me i thought the same it was just me but when I spoke to people there and when you read the comment section here it's inevitable that this is the generic tone for Indians when travelling abroad
@@SoftwareTraveller yes I agree.....we are often put under the scanner
How much money or dollars Hong Kong immigration ask you to show for as Indian passport?
Not anything specific
I don't think HK immigration should be blamed; we should be blamed. Out of 100%, 70-80% are genuine travelers, and it's the 20-30% of people who have tarnished our image.
That’s a fair comment my friend
Even if one person thrashes the image is bad for rest of the millions
Did anybody faced issues regarding PAR while applying from Hyderabad please comment....
Yes my passport is from Vizag and it got rejected so yeah Andhra Pradesh issued passport are getting rejected
Sir how much cash can I carry to Hong Kong (per passport)
@@sanjithkumar8813 there's no limit as such and they won't check either, atleast for me they din check
My PAR got rejected as my passport was issued in Hyderabad, IN
Even Hyderabad? Shocking
What are the documents required other than PAR slip at HKG immigration?

Recently I contacted tour travel for Hong Kong. They said now they are accepting PAR for Indians. Look for other alternative they said. Is it true ? Plz tell
Not accepting PAR for Indians

Bro, this happened to us in Hong Kong
Absolutely
I know what the problem. I can tell from watching this. Same thing....Hahaha
Cool
Probably your nationality is the issue not the immigration authorities of any countries.
Don't want to bring this up. You people are infamous in Hong Kong and other major airports and immigration counters due to immigration issues. I worked there and can testify that only people from your country would bump into such troubles. No one else, NO ONE. Because your passport is basically worth less than the value of a draft paper that you guys basically need a visa going to basically every single country on earth, and have a wonderful record of refused entry due to multiple different reasons.
So now you know my friend, please get on with this, and stop complaining, while you are going to somebody else's place as a tourist. If you are not liking it, then "have a good one".
You cannot generalize everyone based on the region! I think this comment is too racist in my opinion and you need to have more maturity to realise that because of a few individuals the whole nation doesn't become weak!
@@SoftwareTraveller if based on intuition, yes I am racist. If based on experience and statistics, that’s fact. You have no idea how troubling Indian travellers are. I don’t mind listing them out.
1. wheelchair: each flight coming from India is filled with wheelchair passengers who can walk properly and not old. The only reason that are spamming this is because they are “tired”, afraid of getting lost in the airports and it is free. Passengers who really need them usually gotta wait an hour to either leave the airport or go to their connecting flight. (Average wheelchair passengers per my past experience for a DHLHKG flight, there would be around 40-50 healthy pax asking for wheelchair.)
2. “PAR”: not sure if this is correct term. Half of the Indian travellers tends to either intentionally or accidentally fill out the wrong or false information applying for this thing, and once they arrived they got found out and refused. And then the conclusion usually coming out from their mouths is, which is same as yours sir, because of racism. How sweet.
3. Immigration issue. A large chuck of INAD or inadmissible traveller is from your country. They are denied by the country of their destination, and sent back to HK. However they were unable to enter HK due to either Immigration reason too or PAR problem. And 90% of the time, these people would blame the airline for not helping them or the immigration being discriminatory.
4. Transit. When a large group of traveller needs to catch a tight connecting flight, they will stay so close to the ground staff who help them go through check points and escort them to their exact departure gates. But 99% of the time, a large chuck of Indian travellers would go missing as they either went to bathroom or 7-11 or buy souvenirs from the stores, even if they were told not to. How selfish. And then they miss their flights and get to wait days in airside as all the flights are full and this would usually go back to my point#3. (And I assure you this isn’t a single incident)
This is based on real experience my friend. If calling me racist would make you feel better, then I am mature and racist perhaps. 😂
#this happens basically every single day across airportSSSS. And it’s not just 1 or 2 pax who act this way.
@@SoftwareTraveller
How is my comment racist if it is based on factual experience and stat. Below is the typical traveling behavior of your countrymen.
1) Wheelchair: Normally there would be 40-50 wheelchair requests for each of the flight coming from your country. The majority of the wheelchair users are unfortunately healthy and not old. the only reason that they are using this is because they are afraid of getting lose in the airport, claiming that they are too "tired" to walk, and more importantly able to use it for free. Whereas those who really need this service need to wait for hours, before your fellows are all clear and escorted to their connecting flight. How selfish and unfair.
2) PAR Issue: A lot of your countrymen are either intentionally or accidently providing false or untrue information when applying the PAR. And once found at the immigration checkpoint over there in HKG, there were either refused entry or taken to secondary inspection. The conclusion, hilariously, that usually comes out from your countrymen's mouth is that they were treated "unfairly" or the immigration authority is being discriminatory against them. How sweet.
3) Refused entry: A large chuck of passengers (or we call pax) who got refused (INAD) is of Indian nationality as result of different immigration reasons. They were refused entry to their final destination(s) and needed to return to HKG. But as a result of refused entry, most of them would be unable to enter Hong Kong. At that point, your people would interestingly blame the airline staff for not helping them deal with the immigration. How ridiculous.
4) Tight connection: When there is a tight connection, all passengers going to those flights would be escorted to their respective boarding gates so that they don't miss their flights. Most would follow the rules and stay close to the airport staff, except for one nationality - Your people. A large chuck of them would go missing because they either walk 0.1 mile per hour as if they don't fucking care, need to go to toilet without notice, go to 7-11 for drinks, or need to buy souvenirs from stores. And ending up, most of these people would further delay the flights or miss the flight. This is extremely unfair to those travelers who is rushing like hell. And for those who miss the flight, they would need to stay in the airside for hours or days because THEY WERE UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE PAR due to the powerfulness of your passport. And this would bring us back to scenario (2) or (3) or both. And interesting, they would once again blame the ground staff for not helping them leading to their getting lost. How convenient.
I don't mind giving you more example. I know what you are gonna say my friend - THIS ISN'T THE MAJOITY. But i am sorry if these people constitute 30-40% of your gigantic travelling population, then your people are already good enough to be categorized as trouble makers.
If calling me a racist makes you feel less embarrassed or happier, then i am a "mature" racist.
Hope this gives you a bunch or some senses of what your countrymen really are in airports.
Period.
@@loedward1308 India has 1.8 billion people jus because of few people whole nation isn't bad! If you don't get the point then its upto you! I am not like that and people whom I know arent the same as well! So say what you got to say!
@@SoftwareTraveller
1) Your country do not have 1.8 billion people --------> Correct answer 1.417 billion (2022)'
2) Assuming only better people can travel from your country. Those passengers and their wonderful behaviors represent the middle class of India?
3) All my points (1-4) happen everyday and has a good sample size. So please stop spamming the excuse of "wow we have 1.8 billion people".
4) I don't "say what you got to say" but I tell what truth that needs to be told.
Your videos are informative but in this video I felt that u r being ride and partially racist to people in north India and those who doesn't work in IT.
