Over 2,900 Indians Deported from US and UK in 2024
The Indian government confirmed that around 2,900 Indians living illegally in the United States and United Kingdom were deported this year. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) shared this data, emphasizing efforts to curb undocumented migration.
Where Did Most Deportations Happen?
The majority of deportations occurred from:
– United States (due to stricter Biden administration policies)
– United Kingdom (post-Brexit immigration crackdowns)
Most deportees lacked valid visas or work permits, leading to forced repatriation.
Top Reasons for Indian Deportations
- Visa Overstays – Many enter on tourist/student visas but stay illegally for work.
- Failed Asylum Claims – Some cite persecution but don’t meet legal requirements.
- Fraudulent Migration – Fake agents scam individuals with false job offers.
Indian Government’s Actions
- Collaborating with US/UK authorities for smoother deportations.
- Running awareness campaigns on legal migration risks.
- Offering consular aid but urging migrants to avoid illegal routes.
Consequences of Deportation
- Financial losses (debts from fraudulent schemes).
- Travel bans (difficulty getting future visas).
- Family hardships (lost remittances).
How to Migrate Legally: Expert Advice
✔ Verify job offers via official portals like MEA’s MADAD portal.
✔ Never overstay visas—apply for extensions early.
✔ Consult immigration lawyers before asylum/work visa applications.
Final Warning
Illegal migration risks far outweigh short-term gains. The Indian government urges citizens to follow legal procedures for overseas opportunities.
