Why Are Indians Getting banned In South Korea ?

[Yasser76]

Mate they're not "trapped". They're overstaying their visas and quietly scamming the system dry and taking CIH jobs or gig jobs while squatting 10 to a bedsit. They even claim "asylum" on all sorts of bizarre pretences. Every park is now a mini Ranji trophy league on a Sunday.

So true, parks round my area get full of them on weekends, the mess they leave, playing loud shitty religious songs. UK wanted to befriend Moid, we pay the consequences...

I say let them come. Let these libtard clowns in Europe and western countries have their way with an open door for Indian migrants. Give it around about another 5 years. We should then sit back and watch the show.

The blowback will also come our way, the assimilated and culture abiding ones, especially those who have been here a good while, as we look similar to new arrivals (especially from India without adequate respect for being abroad), until people get to speak to us and figure out the difference.

South Asians are now all over, and as these newcomers that don’t respect local norms mix in, it shrinks the space, especially in less populous and cosmopolitan cities and states, for all of us to seek opportunities.

But I took, in a sense, watch from afar, here in NYC, under our beloved mayor, who knows how to fit in without losing himself.

Here in Japan, only 30k Pakistani. Most stay busy exporting cars to Karachi. Not seen in public much. Keep away from tourist traps/ pubs/ bars/ casino's/ brothels etc.

Very few reports of criminal behavior over the years.

Indians/ Chinese/ Vietnamese migrants have shown absolutely disgusting and far far worse and criminal/ deplorable behavior in Japan.

Indians done petty theft and haggling behavior/ fraud/ pissing in public ets, but the Chinese/ Viets are into auto theft and robberies and far worse activities around here.

Indians are just laughable gypsy people like this dude......they just get dismissed after being chuckled at for being goofy:

I don't know much about Indian and Chinese migrant workers. But for Vietnamese blue-collar workers, and to some extent the Chinese ones as well, coming to work in Japan is nowhere near as straightforward or effortless as people often assume. Especially in Vietnam's case, there are multiple layers of fees that have to be paid to different agencies and intermediaries, and from what I have seen, a lot of those Vietnamese workers are already deep in debt before they even set foot in Japan.

https://roasiapacific.iom.int/sites...n_labour-migration_profile_october-2025-1.pdf

One other thing that people usually do not know is that majority of blue-collar Vietnamese migrant workers in Japan tend to come from specific regions in Vietnam, mainly the Red River Delta and the North Central Coast. People from the South generally don't go for those kinds of blue-collar jobs in Japan, Korea, or Taiwan. It's not because they're better off or anything like that, it's just not really part of the culture.

The number of workers from the 23 southern provinces/cities who go to work abroad accounts for only 10% of the whole country.

And the Vietnamese blue-collar workers who tend to get into trouble in Japan aren't from some random provinces in the North Central Coast either. They mostly come from three specific ones. Those from same three provinces were already banned by South Korea before, so it's always strange to me that Japan has never really made any effort to keep them out. Lately, Japan has even started going all the way down south of Vietnam to try to bring in even more workers, and the ironic part is that people from that province don't exactly have the best reputation when it comes to behavior either.

I still remember quite clearly how even educated Vietnamese from Hanoi and Saigon were willing to take blue-collar jobs in Japan around 20 years ago. These days, that's no longer the case. Japan has pretty much shifted to recruiting from the suburbs around the Red River Delta and the more rural parts of other poor regions in Vietnam. They're doing the same thing in the South now. At this point, it really feels like Japan is so desperate for workers that they don't even bother with basic background checks anymore.

yeah thats all fair comments but its the Chinese/ Koreans/ Viets just committing the most crimes here like burglaries/ theft/ larceny/ fraud etc.......

Indian dalit tourist just steals something worth $5 bucks you know and he gets caught n shamed publicly cuz he stupid/ low IQ, but Chinese/ Korean/ Viets involved in much more serious crimes.

Examining crime data on foreigners coming to Japan - Examining the past 20 years and considering the situation of Japanese South Americans in Japan -

Following the revision of immigration laws in 1990, many Japanese people from South American countries came to Japan for temporary work (in fact, they had been coming since the mid-1980s, and while the first generation Japanese were naturally not recorded as foreigners, the second generation...

"In car theft, 44.7% were Brazilians and 20.8% Pakistanis.”

So despite Pakistanis being a small community in Japan, they were second only to Brazilians in car theft. Indians, despite a larger population, do not appear prominently in the crime data. Facts might not reflect your "feelings"

Same story in Japan.

Japan to Hire 500,000 Indian Workers: Locals Are Mad About It

What this means for other foreign workers

www.tripzilla.ph

Japan is planning to bring in 500,000 Indian workers and locals are outraged. Many say the government is rushing the plan without thinking about the cultural impact. Residents worry their streets, workplaces, and neighbourhoods could soon feel unrecognisable and filthy. Even though the deal is meant to fill labour shortages, Japanese citizens fear their traditional way of life is under serious threat.

The deal, signed between Tokyo and New Delhi, focuses on attracting skilled workers in sectors such as nursing, construction, and manufacturing. These industries have long struggled to find enough manpower as Japan’s population continues to age. But this announcement has also sparked debates on social media with locals expressing concern over how the sudden influx of foreign workers might affect their communities.

View attachment 167956

A shocking crime has pushed Japanese locals’ tempers over the edge. In June 2025, a 24-year-old Indian man was arrested for allegedly raping a teenage girl in Otsu City. The suspect was a temporary worker in the area and the case sent the local community into a state of alarm.

People are furious and demanding answers. Many say they no longer trust how foreign workers are screened and they worry the government is rushing the plan without protecting neighbourhoods first. Social media has been filled with angry posts calling for tougher background checks, better supervision, and stricter penalties for offenders.

These fears are heightened by a broader context. India has an alarming record of sexual violence, with nearly 40,000 rape cases reported nationwide in 2016. In addition, a Japanese tourist was raped by an Indian taxi driver in India in 2018, an incident widely reported in the media. While these events do not reflect the behaviour of every individual, they help explain why serious incidents abroad can amplify anxiety among host communities.

This is just not going to be allowed here. Zero tolerance for Indians here.

No way in hell 500k Indians can come here and mess this country up.

Right wing here will riot non stop day in n day out if anymore Indians allowed into Japan.

Yes, I know about that. It has been covered quite a bit in Vietnamese newspapers too. What I find strange is that a lot of Japanese people complain about the quality of the workers. They say they want more educated Vietnamese, but the truth is, educated people don't really go to Japan for blue-collar jobs anymore. The ones who do go these days are mostly high school graduates or who knows maybe even lower. And on top of that, Japan doesn't seem to care anymore where they pull workers from in Vietnam. It's like they're just taking whoever they can get their hands on. Also, Japanese media runs stories about Vietnamese workers almost every day, yet recruitment numbers keep going up and they're asking for even more. At the same time, you still hear plenty of complaints from Japanese people. It feels like a cycle that doesn't really lead anywhere.

I seriously doubt pakistanis are involved in theft. Almost impossible to even believe those figures considering how small the community really is.

Anybody does shit like that will get excommunicated in 2 minutes.

I'd like a source for dat data. I live here and I know the entire community in Aichi prefecture and I never heard anybody getting in trouble with the law here over the last decade I been here.

These are the only cases involving pakistanis over the last decade or so.

Pakistani nationals have been implicated and jailed in Japan for a variety of theft-related offenses, ranging from organized auto-theft and smuggling syndicates to individual pickpocketing. [1, 2, 3]
Recent and notable cases include:

• April 2026: A 42-year-old Pakistani man was arrested in Ibaraki Prefecture for operating a scrapyard that stripped stolen luxury vehicles (such as Lexus and Land Cruiser models) and attempted to smuggle the engines to Dubai. This followed a series of similar auto-theft busts in the same prefecture involving Pakistani-run dealerships. [1]
• December 2017: A 46-year-old Pakistani national was arrested by Tokyo Metropolitan Police for a string of pickpocketing incidents targeting shoppers in the Ameyoko district of Ueno. [1]
• March 2017: Four Pakistani men were arrested by police in Aichi, Shiga, and Yamaguchi prefectures as part of an auto-theft ring suspected of stealing construction and crane trucks across Japan to sell overseas. [1]

That's a grand total of 6 criminal convictions over almost a decade, which resulted in some of them getting deported.
