  • Thanks to the ever-changing immigration rules, I experienced my worst immigration experience ever while crossing the Oman-UAE border. I was rejected twice. Once at the UAE checkpost and then at the Oman checkpost. Watch this video to know how did I manage to clear the Immigration after almost 14 hours. This video was shot in December 2021.

    ABOUT ME
    I'm Varun.
    I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, I now get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

I felt really bad to know how you suffered in this video but I am also glad that you exposed this black sheep and met that nice Omani man. We Indo-Pak and BD belong to the same soil.

    Immigration is always pain but for Indians it used to be hell. I remember my first foreign trip, hongkong immigration took me to some room and questioned me for 2hrs. They could not understand a lick of English though I had all the bookings and details in hard copy. My first US trip was also bad experience, immigration was rude. My second trip to US was during Trump years and immigration officer was rude at the beginning. So when he asked purpose of visit for 5th time, I said I am there to see Nazis as my grandpa had fought against them in WW2. This was couple of days after that Virginia rally by Nazis. He stared at me for a good long minute and stamped my passport. It is not good to loose patience with immigration but life has improved for travelling Indians in the past 10-15years

      I know 5 rials may not be a huge amount of money, but this is supposed to be a travelling channel, not something where someone complains all the time. I am noticing for the last few weeks, he has been complaining about almost everything. This has become very irritating for people to see everytime we come to see his vlogs. And some of these looked very silly tbh. I would request Varun bhai to please start showing the beautiful locations you travel and to reduce these types of complaining wale videos. If you're complaining, then make sure you fight it out and show the resolution as well, yeh nahi ki kisi officer ne kuch keh diya toh dusre border chale gaye. That was not the solution. You should have fought him. Tab usko akkal aati aur baaki logo ko pareshaan na karega aise in the future.

    Just want to give a bit of a clarification for your viewers who might be planning to take the same trip by Hatta Wajaja border. The PCR validity is ONLY 48 HOURS for most travellers. (14 days validity is for GCC citizens only!)
    Secondly, cancellation of an EXIT stamp is not an option in any country. In Oman, the visa status is changed to "Cancelled" when traveller exits Oman. After that, there is no way you can enter without a new visa, be it even for 1 hour also. And since i travelled just 3 days ago, I had confirmed with Royal Oman Police, there is NO FREE VISA issued at land borders for Indians(irrespective of USA visa in passport), that facility is only available in airports. So the information provided to you by that officer is correct, You are required to pay 5 riyals for re-entry. I'm sorry you had an unpleasant experience. A bit of a research would have helped you avoid this confusion. Stay Safe :)

Looks like that immigration officer want bribe he is asking straight for money or in layman language " Chai pani ka kharcha de do". Never saw u this upset in any trip but one thing I can say Sire this experience will make you strong to face any other obstacles N we all know that u r a pro to tackle those difficulties😎Farhat sir, thank you is such a small word to say coz u ve helped so much to our legend. U r a blessing in disguise for MT😊 12:12 felt like a little child saying " Ni ni aur ni.. Bht ho gya😊 bht kha liya😄" Sweet moment. 15:15 That was the best N funniest part- are apko urdu aata h??

Nevertheless we always felt we were Indians and wh3n we came across Indian travellers, we always wanted to be friends. But looking at recent news media in india and how Muslims are being treated in india, we tend to get pissed off. I’ve personally witnessed quite a few Indians being harassed at borders, even in African countries. But I think this has got a lot to do with how you are treating your own fellow Indians who happen to be Muslim.

      @Shruti Tiwari When a Hindu temple was ransacked by the self calling “Muslims” in Pakistan, the whole country was in turmoil. Even the Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke out against it and ordered the temple to be repaired by the gov. Ministry and the so called muslim culprits be made to pay for the costs before being marched into prison where they belonge.
      On the other hand, when mosques and churches are destroyed by Hindu vigilantes, the Indian government keeps mum and the prime minister stays in his cakoon quietly showing his approval. The vigilantes are garlanded and regarded as heroes by leading BJP politicians. That is the difference between a civilised god fearing people and a country which boasts to be the World’s biggest democracy, but actually it’s not so in india. In india it’s not d3mocracy, in india it’s “The demons gone Crazy”.

      As a US resident, my tips to visit different destinations city in USA are By AIR, LAND or WATER. so fly, drive or by a Boat/ship to visit your place of interest. So please do not hitchhike, travel by renting a car or share it with another tourist, By tour Bus, book in advance and also for ship or Boat, book early. It helps the us economy and tourism.
      YOu cannot wait for someone to offer rides. Plan your trip ahead. Stay at hostels which are cheaper for a budget traveller like you. The whole video should help a new tourist to get around a city. you can only do it if you can show how you did it. Dont post videos of hitchhikes or borrowed rides which is not what a tourist does. Then you can call yourself a Guide who can help people decide how to travel. Help US economy by spending $$$ on services and Goods. help the local economy, shop little stores, food at local restaurants etc. you get the idea how to help the US economy. So follow it and then preach it otherwise your videos mean nothing

    * Once a visit visa is cancelled, another one is needed and in this case the visa fee was OMR 5 ( less than Rs1000), which is mentioned on their website. It's NOT a bribe.
    * This is a re-entry into a country, which is a big deal, luckily one can get a visa at the border here. Can't Imagine if it was not possible.

As someone pointed out in the comment section, it may be best to pick the right battles.
