Indian students facing more deportations and entry denials abroad
Over the past five years, hundreds of Indian students have been deported or denied entry in countries like the UK (170 deportations), Australia (114 deportations), Russia (82 deportations), and the US (45 deportations, 62 entry denials).
Smaller numbers were reported in places like Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.
Most cases are linked to visa violations—like working illegally, not paying fees, or missing classes—or incomplete paperwork at arrival.
Why should you care?
With nearly 19 lakh Indian students now studying overseas, these rising numbers signal tougher checks and stricter rules for student visas.
It's a reminder that following all visa and university requirements is more important than ever.
For anyone dreaming of studying abroad, staying informed about changing immigration policies could make all the difference in your journey.
