A STAY TOO LONG
Country- wise arrested and deported foreigners: 2014
It is easy to assume that majority of foreigners overstaying in India after their visa expired would be from the neighbourhood: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. This notion is only partially true. Of the 25,209 people who entered India on valid travel documents but were caught overstaying in 2014, the majority had come from Pakistan. US nationals, surprisingly, made up the second-biggest chunk of such travellers. They were followed by Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis and Nigerians. In the three years between 2011 and 2013, over 22,000 such travellers have been deported.
