Hello, I’m Mukul, the founder of Easy Move Abroad. I’m here to share a bit about who I am and why I started this platform.
I was born and raised in India, a country known for its rich history, diverse culture, and mouthwatering cuisine. But there’s one thing that’s always been a challenge for me and many other Indians – our passport. You see, Indian passports are ranked quite low on the global passport index, granting visa-free access to fewer than 40 countries.
For perspective, let’s compare this with the world’s strongest passports. For instance, holders of a Japanese passport can travel visa-free to as many as 193 countries, Singaporeans can access 190 countries without a visa, and EU and U.S. citizens can travel freely to around 170 and 185 countries respectively. It’s quite a contrast, isn’t it? This disparity is often referred to as “passport inequality”, and it’s a frustrating reality for many people around the world.
My own experiences with this were far from pleasant. A few years ago, I applied for a U.S. visa. I was full of hope and had no intentions of breaking any rules. Yet, after only a two-minute interview, my application was rejected. I felt defeated and powerless. What added salt to the wound was the fact that there was no way for me to appeal this decision.
But it’s not just about me – according to U.S. State Department data, in 2020, around 22% of non-immigrant visa applications were refused. Many of these applicants faced the same feelings of disappointment and frustration that I did, not to mention the loss of money and time.
I decided that enough was enough. No one should have to go through the same hurdles I did, so I started Easy Move Abroad. My vision was to create a platform to assist not just those with ‘weaker’ passports like mine, but anyone who wants to travel, study, work, or settle in a new country but doesn’t know where to start.
