    Indians top the list in acquiring foreign citizenship: OECD report
  • Indians top the list when it comes to acquiring foreign citizenship. In 2015, 1.3 lakh people of Indian origin acquired citizenship of the 35 OECD countries.

    Most of these expatriates were on work visas.

    These are the findings of International Migration Outlook by the OECD.

    An earlier OECD report had also found that with 156 lakh migrants, India had the world's largest diaspora.
