I had a similar experience in Uzbekistan while crossing the border to Tajikistan. They didn't let me cross the border because I BROKE THE RULE OF REGISTRATION. Registration rule is VERY STRANGE in Uzbek also. They dont mention it anywhere in the e visa website/e visa u get or even when u enter the country. (I entered from Turkmenistan overland). I came to know about the rule from a blog but broke it knowingly. They kept me in a room in the Uzbek border for 3 4 hours and then a local friend of mine came to help. Will make a video about it soon on my channel. This was part of my overland hitchhiking journey from DUBAI TO KERALA.
I also want to add one thing, Office, embassy, police station ke chakkar katne ke bad when we finally got registration papers. But when I was was crossing the border ( Kyrgyzstan- Tajikistan), first they didn't ask my registration papers. After all the exit formalities, I was like itni mehnat ki registration papers nahi v mang rhe fir v Jabardasti dikhunga, I said to them, I also have registration papers and they told me, No need my friend. I was like itna homework kia koi fayda Nahi 😅
Dear friends, I am an Indian journalist cover Ministry of Foreign Affairs, India.. I watched so many of your vids.. will ask MEA about this.. and passing it to all top Authorities.. Thanks for such vid👍👌🏆🎖
This frustration is felt by every Indian as well as Foreigner in India ! The government works for the influential and rich. Asking for a bribe even when you've complied with all rules is very common here. I'm not surprised to here your experience in Indian embassy !!
Your sufferings in many ways are an eye opener for other travellers. Thanks for making a video on this. Possibly we should tag our Indian embassy and report it as well
paji the best can India do... or ministry of foreign affairs can do is list each and every country requirements on one website, so that it is easy to verify or cross check the requirements before applying visa... In Australia, we have traveler website here for Australian passport holders where they can check requirements how safe the country is and what is to see there.... Hope someone from ministry read this... it will be a great help...
Arre bhai itna naraz mat hoiye unki bhi apni limitations hoti hai serve krne ki Example: matter serious hona chahiye kulbhushan Jadhav ek example hai, vo matter bahut serious hai aur embassy kitni mehnat kr rhi hai unko bachane k liye Dusra agar embassy dusri country k internal matter me dakhal degi to band bhi ho skti hai Pls Bhai jawab m gali mt bakna😂
Bro I'm a Indian citizen residing in Kyrgyzstan. I know about the Indian embassy there, so I commented. No one comments without experiencing right!? @Screwed _UP
Aisa nahi hai...aap US me Indian embassy me jawo aur unse help maango wo help karte hain..kuchh incidents hote hain..lekin aise nahi hai ki sab ke sab kharab hai...Mai US me hoon aur maine jab bhi Indian embassy ko approach kiya hai wo mujhe bahut surprise kiye hain is maamle me.
And they think they own the embassy especially when dealing with people applying for a Indian Tourist Visa. They are so rude and arrogant. They really mess people around, Go here , go there and feeding people wrong information and then penalise them after for making mistakes based on their advice.
This is really good we are able to see how tourists are being treated and even our own country's embassy is not helping who need some assistance.... Thank you Varun for showing this rather exposing the truth 🙏🙏
@Ashwin Nair Dear Ashwin. I am happy that I am not on Twitter to read or verify your statement. But I am happy to read a lot of newspapers from The hindu to quint n print. Thanks.
@Ashwin Nair the thing is in India people are naive thinking government is here to help, it's never been that. Governments are not here to help you, if that was the case India won't be called a third world country today with broken roads and broken system. It's always people vs government. But the governments want it to be people vs people. And sadly in india they have succeeded in doing so.
Bro you've been traveling all over the world, please know this. Never ever ever hand your passport to anyone other than a state official (even then I'd try not to hand it unless I have to)

Absolutely correct...apna hi tax Ka Kuch hissa unke salary me jaata Hain....get them back and cancel all such embassies if they cannot help their own people ...
I live in Munich, Germany and once needed to go to the Indian Embassy, Munich. I must say they were helpful and really polite. They helped me to solve the issues I had. The same positive experience at Berlin Indian Embassy, nice people.
So what? It was their duty. The embassy did not oblige you. They depend on our taxes for their salaries. It is certainly news if they fail to do their duty.
In india for foreigner "c" Form is compulsory to be filled by hotel and guesthouse... It's a one page form and online available on CID website and if any hotel is not register online with CID then hotel has to submit it offline with police station within 24 hrs and if hotel failed to do this then penalty is on hotel not on tourist. So basically liability is on hotel not on tourist and it's totally free for all parties no fees by govt.
come on bhai, look before you leap... govt has various tasks to do. Before you travel check the rules of the country and then move. There is literature about the co7ntry and check with other travellers/workers. Beware of the country and policy, dont blame a small embassy who have their oen struggles to help you.

I have been staying in a foreign country for two decades. Have been to many other countries & embassies also. Got very good response except Indian embassy. It's unfortunate but they carry the same lethargic govt official attitude from India. You are lucky enough if they behaved politely with you. Don't expect much from them other than passport renewal & attestation with hefty fees. It's sad but true.
Yup .. this probably is the first polite embassy person I have ever heard of, else they start scolding you like a teacher. For the embassy you are just a trouble maker. Thats all. Varun was lucky to have had a polite encounter :)
@@Techie-time This definitely was not my experience with the Chicago consulate officials. They either don't pick up the emergency phone altogether or cut your call once you tell them your issue and then never pick up. Indian embassy officials are far worse than MEA officials within India.
AJEET KUMAR I was traveling to India in the year 2000 but I found the Indian High Commissioners office most cooperative. I did not need to prove my indian ancestry either since visa for Indian origin foreigners was also free of charge. I could easily have been of Pakistani origin but they accepted my word. But recently I’ve heard of unnecessary harassment by visa officials at London office.
I live in Prague, Czech Republic. Here everyone needs to go through the registration process. Due to Covid, many tourists overstayed their visa validity and while leaving they had to go through the registration process with very high penalty.
Hi, Varun, i admire your frankness and boldness to speak out and stand for your rights. These staffs of India embassy get their fat wages from the tax paying Indian and inspite are not very helpful to those very people's who pays tax. I hope some indian politicians or official will do take notice and does something about it.
Not all Indian Embassies are bad , last year I was stuck in Malaysia because I lost my passport in Kuala Lumpur . (High commission of India) in Malaysia really helped me a lot and I was back home in India in less than 24 hours . The staff over their is very helpful .... Thumbs up for their services ..
I think the underlying issue is what is in embassy's own control and what is not. But the least each Indian embassy can do, if it's not already there, is to provide on their own website all the dos and don'ts for Indians arriving in that country on various kinds of visas. They should also provide links to all importants guidelines/regulations by govt. of that country for tourists. Moreover, it is the responsibility of our embassy to keep track of every rule/regulation, and changes thereto, that may affect Indians visiting that country.
In fact I noticed that the Indian Embassy in Bishkek does provide this information - indembbishkek.gov.in/pdf/Notice.pdf Every Indian visitor to another country must go through information available on the Indian Embassy website for that country. It may not address all the issues but the visitor may well be better informed.
I had big expectations when you entered the embassy. And .... Atleast every Indian embassy should have a page which will contain all the details about how to enter and exit that country. Atleast they should have called the foreign ministry or someone else. But they said you should have read. Give us a book then. 😫 Esa expectation in logon se nehin tha.
@@dwaynestarke4679 Listen man or woman, they are there to solve problems and not create more distress for this man. Of course this guy made a mistake, no denying in that but they should listen to him properly and understand under what circumstances was the mistake committed and solve the problem for him before giving gyan to him. At the same time it is in Kyrgystan, where hardly any Indian goes for tourism so it's not like they are busy or anything at that embassy. In another similar case, a Dutch woman was stuck in Peru where the Embassy of Netherlands solved the problem in less than 6 hours and got papers faxed from the Foreign Ministry of Netherlands in between those 6 hours and also sent security to protect the women as the locals were about to jump on her. Coming to this situation, they couldn't even help this distressing person even when he was present at the embassy, ready to pay the fine, let alone someone stuck somewhere. The officers at this specific embassy need to be trained at distress handling because this man made a mistake and did not commit a crime (a crime in the court of law is intentional and mistake is unintentional regardless of the severity of them)
Hi. I am facing difficulty in getting death certificate of my brother in law who died two months ago in Bishkek. Indian embassy is not helping at all. Is there any online link to get the death certificate. Kindly help fellow doctor. Thanks
Lesson learnt.. Registration required in CIS countries.. Lesson 2 - don't depend on Indian Embassy, solve your problems on your own. Lesson 3 - don't go by what travel vloggers say, judge every country every people as per your own experience 🤔
@@thiskarthik But the rules say if a tourist stays for less than 30 days then he is exempt from registration. Most tourist would not stay for 30 days like Varun & Shubham
@@pijushroy6527 also the 30 days time for Indians apparently changes whenever the government feels like it? No thanks 😬 there are much better countries to visit for leisure.

It's a pity that you have had a bad experience at the Indian Embassy. I have lived in Hamburg for the last 30 years and the consulate here is fantastic. They help wherever they can and even go out of their way to sort things out. Especially during Corona I needed their help as I could not travel to India and they were there for me every step of the way. I don't know if it is an IFS issue but "my" Hamburg consulate team is the best - thank you to them!!
Same here in London. The staff are Indian going by their accent and they look down on anyone brown whether your from India or not. How dare they come to London, steal our potential jobs and then look down on us. These are the type of people who sold India out. They salute anyone with white skin sadly.
This is first time I am watching you in angry mode (actually frustrated and not angry). It taught me don't let your polite become your weakness. And always raise your voice against injustice. And I also appreciate your efforts to do things in not easy but in right way. It could be the easiest way if you simply offer bribe and get things done but you don't compromise your ethics for your sake of convenience. believe it or not but you were able tackle that situation because of our tremendous "mountain trekker family". and i am feeling proud to be unknowingly helpful. And lastly you taught me "its ok to do not respect everyone but do surely respect them only who truly deserve that respect...!"
Amazingly observed and well written in words....Yes we all are proud to be in this family....as the ethics here are strong ....to keep the moral values high....but if necessary we can just change our tone to let you know....that what is not appreciated and acceptable.
Priya rinkesh bhai ek simple baat samzo agar hamare ethics itne high hote to ye varun bhai pareshan hi naa hote embassy se help mil gyi hoti .... Apno se gaddari aur ghush khori to us waqat bhi ham karte the jab angarej hamare upar raaj karte the .... Is desh se kuch ummid hi rahi ab to ... Sorry agar ye kuch jyada negative hain to lekin sach se muh nahi mod sakte
Just missed the important info, is the registration mandatory for a week's stay as well or it needs to be done if you're staying above 30 days. As I didn't notice anything about registration with European vloggers who passed overland thru Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
Hii Im a student from Kazakhstan. My suggestion is in these post Soviet countries you should always take a margin of 3 to 5 days for registration. And also before traveling check the calendar of visiting country because sometimes due to holidays you can't register for your arrival and you could be in trouble. Also keep in mind most of the USSR countries have 5 working days and two weekend holiday on Saturday sunday so my advice is to schedule your ticket on week days.
Sir I feel you are that sort of person who during frustrating times try to be as calm as possible I need to learn this behaviour from you , respect. The way you've behaved calmly throughout the incident is exemplary.
If Japanese come in India I think MEA would advise them to learn hindi, unko to English bhi nahi ati only Japanese. Sale khali marketing ho raha hai India me. Fokat ka salary le rahe hai .
In india day by day people who speaks English is increasing....to bahar k tourists ko problem india m ni hoti hai......but indian tourist in such countries where English is not national language face problems
Woww !! I am so inspired that you didn't offer the bribe and get the thing done in one day for which you had to struggle for almost 2 weeks! hats off to your bravery and patience.
The best thing about you is you didn't loose your calm and composure in spite of all the noise that happened around you. You displayed positivity. That's something to learn from you.
Really a helpful vlog! another thing is the music made me anxious ki abhi koi mission milega or game start ho jayega poora hitman wala feel a gaya bro.
This video is worth of a million sharing. Such a shame on this embassy's officials. Kudos to you of the way you have handled the situation calmly (almost😉)
This is one of the best video one can get on interest from an influencer like Varun Vagish. You have exposed our bureaucratic system which are evident even in a foreign country.. Government should watch this video and take immediate action as soon as possible. I hope your tweets regarding this issue shall be helpful to gather our government attention (sic)
This is NOT A good idea at all. Because they will give an evasive answer like - go through our website and ask us if you have any questions. If people are not helpful, you cannot get anything. Same with Indian embassies - why didn't the Indian officials help? Because they don't want to get involved in the local politics - some locals were making money and this Indian official will not stop them, just like in India. If you are a US citizen and the US embassy makes a noise, then the local police will shut down the local troublemakers immediately. Anyway, I thank this vlogger for alerting everyone.
Sad to know that Indian Embassy didn't helped you in any way apart from giving you the meaningless advises. Our Govt officials are used to make people suffer on name of ignorance and their power positions whether its India or abroad. Hope someone can look into this and make the corrections, which I'm not hopeful to be frank. Anyhow, you dealt with the situation strongly bro. God bless you. To my best knowledge, only Indians living in any particular country are the one who can help eachother.
Varun bhai I appreciate you showed the reality👍🏻👍🏻I have lived there for 5 years Indian embassy in bishkek have a very unprofessional way of working as there are lot of students they don’t care about their safety and nor they help them in any problem. And what to say about the local kyrgyz authorities or police they are very corrupted.
Since you have good image as a travel influencer, please write to related authorities of India so that such things won't happen for tourists who come to india.

Even in India tourism department websites hardly mentions list of registered hostel/hotels in a particular city. 99% tourist first checks Embassy website of their intrested countries (they want yo visit), and if every information related to tourism is listed there itself, in simple-clear language such situations could be avoided.
Hey ! Varun. As i mentioned before, You need to be patient while dealing with people. At some time, you are dealing with people who also have different challenges. Every day is not same.

Yup .. this probably is the first polite embassy person I have ever heard of, else they start scolding you like a teacher. For the embassy you are just a trouble maker. Thats all. Varun was lucky to have had a polite encounter :)
welcome to the former CIS, ABB , always be bribing 😂
i have been in US for 10 years and earlier also..I have gone to the Indian embassies and they have always helped me.
Suprising cause indian embassy and consulate in italy and Germany has been very helpful.
@@Techie-time This definitely was not my experience with the Chicago consulate officials. They either don't pick up the emergency phone altogether or cut your call once you tell them your issue and then never pick up. Indian embassy officials are far worse than MEA officials within India.
Noncoprative Indian embassy. How scary is this incident thanks for sharing we learn alot from this.
AJEET KUMAR I was traveling to India in the year 2000 but I found the Indian High Commissioners office most cooperative. I did not need to prove my indian ancestry either since visa for Indian origin foreigners was also free of charge. I could easily have been of Pakistani origin but they accepted my word. But recently I’ve heard of unnecessary harassment by visa officials at London office.
What does he expect the embassy to do for him? He messed it up and all he had to do was find another hotel.
I never thought I'll ever visit Kyrgyzstan, Now I'm sure I won't visit there. :))
I just got here Sunday. It’s good here so far.
@@drewjitzoo4378 How is it Going?
some countries not to visit Kyrgyzstan, belgrade.
Why does a tourist need to spend 30 days in one country?
@@ras-qu5pp To explore
I live in Prague, Czech Republic.
Here everyone needs to go through the registration process.
Due to Covid, many tourists overstayed their visa validity and while leaving they had to go through the registration process with very high penalty.
Hi, Varun, i admire your frankness and boldness to speak out and stand for your rights.
These staffs of India embassy get their fat wages from the tax paying Indian and inspite are not very helpful to those very people's who pays tax.
I hope some indian politicians or official will do take notice and does something about it.
Oh, what a headache and what corruption. Thank you for such vital information so others now know
Not all Indian Embassies are bad , last year I was stuck in Malaysia because I lost my passport in Kuala Lumpur . (High commission of India) in Malaysia really helped me a lot and I was back home in India in less than 24 hours .
The staff over their is very helpful ....
Thumbs up for their services ..
I think the underlying issue is what is in embassy's own control and what is not. But the least each Indian embassy can do, if it's not already there, is to provide on their own website all the dos and don'ts for Indians arriving in that country on various kinds of visas. They should also provide links to all importants guidelines/regulations by govt. of that country for tourists. Moreover, it is the responsibility of our embassy to keep track of every rule/regulation, and changes thereto, that may affect Indians visiting that country.
In fact I noticed that the Indian Embassy in Bishkek does provide this information - indembbishkek.gov.in/pdf/Notice.pdf Every Indian visitor to another country must go through information available on the Indian Embassy website for that country. It may not address all the issues but the visitor may well be better informed.
What was the cost? My passport got damaged while visiting Wash DC and they charged me $330 per passport.
@@TheRajeshKapoor in your given link, Indians are exemtped for Registration procedure if visa is not longer than 30 days.
@@MuhammadAli-su3oo Correct
I had big expectations when you entered the embassy. And ....
Atleast every Indian embassy should have a page which will contain all the details about how to enter and exit that country. Atleast they should have called the foreign ministry or someone else. But they said you should have read. Give us a book then. 😫 Esa expectation in logon se nehin tha.
It's not as easy as you think. Talk to any official, he'll tell you the reality especially in CIS countries.
The Registration is necessary to be done within how many days after arrival. So from when the fine would be applicable
Scariest Thing in the world is not the anger of bad person But the anger of the calm one.

We should tweet about the indian embassy thing that they did not help tourist in foreign country.
Good
@@SunilSaini-lw5mz absolutely we all should spam tweet this to S Jaishankar so he takes some action against those people in embassy
@@dwaynestarke4679 Listen man or woman, they are there to solve problems and not create more distress for this man. Of course this guy made a mistake, no denying in that but they should listen to him properly and understand under what circumstances was the mistake committed and solve the problem for him before giving gyan to him.
At the same time it is in Kyrgystan, where hardly any Indian goes for tourism so it's not like they are busy or anything at that embassy.
In another similar case, a Dutch woman was stuck in Peru where the Embassy of Netherlands solved the problem in less than 6 hours and got papers faxed from the Foreign Ministry of Netherlands in between those 6 hours and also sent security to protect the women as the locals were about to jump on her. Coming to this situation, they couldn't even help this distressing person even when he was present at the embassy, ready to pay the fine, let alone someone stuck somewhere.
The officers at this specific embassy need to be trained at distress handling because this man made a mistake and did not commit a crime (a crime in the court of law is intentional and mistake is unintentional regardless of the severity of them)

Hi. I am facing difficulty in getting death certificate of my brother in law who died two months ago in Bishkek. Indian embassy is not helping at all. Is there any online link to get the death certificate. Kindly help fellow doctor. Thanks
An Important Lesson learnt today before going to CIS countries:
CHAPTER 1: REGISTRATION
but usually very few people would stay for 30 days and more in a CIS country
Lesson learnt..
Registration required in CIS
countries..
Lesson 2 - don't depend on Indian Embassy, solve your problems on your own.
Lesson 3 - don't go by what travel vloggers say, judge every country every people as per your own experience 🤔
Also don't go to Kyrgyzstan unless you REALLY want to 😁
@@thiskarthik But the rules say if a tourist stays for less than 30 days then he is exempt from registration. Most tourist would not stay for 30 days like Varun & Shubham
@@pijushroy6527 also the 30 days time for Indians apparently changes whenever the government feels like it? No thanks 😬 there are much better countries to visit for leisure.
lesson learnt ..
dont visit such tourist unfrndly nations
@@thiskarthik correct bro it's better save more money and wait and go to Schengen countries or USA Canada UK Australia Japan Singapore....maybe south africa and Brazil
Thanks Varun for sharing your experience. To be kept in mind whenever we decide to travel Kyrgyzstan.

Thanks for bringing this Varun,this is a important topic and should be highlighted as many of us fell in scams/traps in difficult situation.
It's a pity that you have had a bad experience at the Indian Embassy. I have lived in Hamburg for the last 30 years and the consulate here is fantastic. They help wherever they can and even go out of their way to sort things out. Especially during Corona I needed their help as I could not travel to India and they were there for me every step of the way. I don't know if it is an IFS issue but "my" Hamburg consulate team is the best - thank you to them!!
That’s the sad reality of Indian embassies around the world🗺 🌍
So true
completly agree ,Indian embassys helps everyone else other than Indians
Same here in London. The staff are Indian going by their accent and they look down on anyone brown whether your from India or not. How dare they come to London, steal our potential jobs and then look down on us. These are the type of people who sold India out. They salute anyone with white skin sadly.
SARKARI
This is first time I am watching you in angry mode (actually frustrated and not angry). It taught me don't let your polite become your weakness. And always raise your voice against injustice. And I also appreciate your efforts to do things in not easy but in right way. It could be the easiest way if you simply offer bribe and get things done but you don't compromise your ethics for your sake of convenience. believe it or not but you were able tackle that situation because of our tremendous "mountain trekker family". and i am feeling proud to be unknowingly helpful. And lastly you taught me "its ok to do not respect everyone but do surely respect them only who truly deserve that respect...!"
I have just started loving the way of your expression. And also your 'paarkhi nazar'.
Glad to have you onboard, Rinkesh 😊
Amazingly observed and well written in words....Yes we all are proud to be in this family....as the ethics here are strong ....to keep the moral values high....but if necessary we can just change our tone to let you know....that what is not appreciated and acceptable.
If he offers bribe then he didn't get masala for this video. May be his video gets viral because of that.
Priya rinkesh bhai ek simple baat samzo agar hamare ethics itne high hote to ye varun bhai pareshan hi naa hote embassy se help mil gyi hoti .... Apno se gaddari aur ghush khori to us waqat bhi ham karte the jab angarej hamare upar raaj karte the .... Is desh se kuch ummid hi rahi ab to ... Sorry agar ye kuch jyada negative hain to lekin sach se muh nahi mod sakte
Just missed the important info, is the registration mandatory for a week's stay as well or it needs to be done if you're staying above 30 days. As I didn't notice anything about registration with European vloggers who passed overland thru Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
Hii Im a student from Kazakhstan.
My suggestion is in these post Soviet countries you should always take a margin of 3 to 5 days for registration.
And also before traveling check the calendar of visiting country because sometimes due to holidays you can't register for your arrival and you could be in trouble. Also keep in mind most of the USSR countries have 5 working days and two weekend holiday on Saturday sunday so my advice is to schedule your ticket on week days.
Farzi doctor hai tu?
I really hope this video reaches ministry of external affairs and they acknowledge this with our embassy in Kyrgyzstan... Thanks for this video.
Happy to see both of you together. As I follow both of you 👍
Sir I feel you are that sort of person who during frustrating times try to be as calm as possible I need to learn this behaviour from you , respect. The way you've behaved calmly throughout the incident is exemplary.
Is vedio को viral होना चाहिए...., जब देश के विदेश मंत्रालय को पता चलेगा तभी कुछ बदलाव देखा जा सकता है..,

Thank-you so much for making this video
This video is helpful for so many peoples
I m currently in japan.. and terrifying if embassy asking me to learn Japanese for travel.. tweeting this to MEA..
If Japanese come in India I think MEA would advise them to learn hindi, unko to English bhi nahi ati only Japanese. Sale khali marketing ho raha hai India me. Fokat ka salary le rahe hai .
But it's better to learn some japanese bcz whole world knows japanese chinese prefer their native language rather than English same as russian
In india day by day people who speaks English is increasing....to bahar k tourists ko problem india m ni hoti hai......but indian tourist in such countries where English is not national language face problems
Woww !! I am so inspired that you didn't offer the bribe and get the thing done in one day for which you had to struggle for almost 2 weeks! hats off to your bravery and patience.
The best thing about you is you didn't loose your calm and composure in spite of all the noise that happened around you. You displayed positivity. That's something to learn from you.
Let’s tweet this incidence to their travel department and Our MEA too
this video deserves to be in trending
It is sorry state of affairs that Indian embassy's behavior not good. Must complate to foreign ministery
Really a helpful vlog! another thing is the music made me anxious ki abhi koi mission milega or game start ho jayega poora hitman wala feel a gaya bro.
I have well traveled and trust me our Indian Embassy never helped us anywhere. Infact they were all rude :/
We had to do a registration in Japan too. But it was in the airport just after arrival. And the process was super smooth
Takeaway from this video: Leave a day before date of expiry of visa, not on the last day of visa, in very country that one travels to.
If sushma swaraaj is alive, just only one tweet can help you to get rid of it.

You are surely government employee, isi liye hope hope kar raha hai 😀😀
This video is worth of a million sharing. Such a shame on this embassy's officials. Kudos to you of the way you have handled the situation calmly (almost😉)
This is one of the best video one can get on interest from an influencer like Varun Vagish.
You have exposed our bureaucratic system which are evident even in a foreign country..
Government should watch this video and take immediate action as soon as possible.
I hope your tweets regarding this issue shall be helpful to gather our government attention (sic)
What A Great Help from Embassy. So before any one travel please contact the Embassy so to know the rules
Now this is the best suggestion....Before leaving for a country... contact the embassy over their...and ask some must know things...
This is NOT A good idea at all. Because they will give an evasive answer like - go through our website and ask us if you have any questions. If people are not helpful, you cannot get anything. Same with Indian embassies - why didn't the Indian officials help? Because they don't want to get involved in the local politics - some locals were making money and this Indian official will not stop them, just like in India. If you are a US citizen and the US embassy makes a noise, then the local police will shut down the local troublemakers immediately. Anyway, I thank this vlogger for alerting everyone.
In this lockdown, Seeing you solving problems give me great feeling. In traveling solving different situational problems are worth learning.
Sad to know that Indian Embassy didn't helped you in any way apart from giving you the meaningless advises. Our Govt officials are used to make people suffer on name of ignorance and their power positions whether its India or abroad. Hope someone can look into this and make the corrections, which I'm not hopeful to be frank. Anyhow, you dealt with the situation strongly bro. God bless you.
To my best knowledge, only Indians living in any particular country are the one who can help eachother.
Lol ofc indians have to help each other as ur countrymates....
This should be shared on twitter handle of PMO and External affairs ministry of India.
Varun bhai I appreciate you showed the reality👍🏻👍🏻I have lived there for 5 years Indian embassy in bishkek have a very unprofessional way of working as there are lot of students they don’t care about their safety and nor they help them in any problem. And what to say about the local kyrgyz authorities or police they are very corrupted.
Since you have good image as a travel influencer, please write to related authorities of India so that such things won't happen for tourists who come to india.
A very detailed and informative video, this will be very helpful for tourists planning to go there.
Hotel booking sites should include only registered hotels and hostels
I hope people learn from this.

Even in India tourism department websites hardly mentions list of registered hostel/hotels in a particular city.
99% tourist first checks Embassy website of their intrested countries (they want yo visit), and if every information related to tourism is listed there itself, in simple-clear language such situations could be avoided.
