@airindia please have a speaker person at each location you are flying to who has the authority to make decisions. To all the people, say no to Air India 🙏, stuck in Bangkok with no one to tell us why apart from the fact that pilot didn’t want to fly 👏👏👏.

@EmbEspIndia@SpainMFA@IndiainSpain@DrHVoffice@MEAIndia@DrSJaishankar tonight slot will be released for 12th August, 4 slots per day. Considering leaving for Spain in first week September, only 15 days available to get slot and visa. 1000+ students, 15*4=60 slots available.
We request the @EmbEspIndia to start accepting couriers instead of giving out appointments as it would be a fast and effective method considering covid-19.
Indian Studies are :
1. Fully vaccinated with WHO and Spanish Government Approved vaccines.
2. Ready to Present 42Hrs RT-PCR test reports for COVID-19
3.Ready to Go through rapid Antigen testing upon landing
4.Ready to Quarantine for 10 days and retest ourselves again.
@IndiainSpain@Isha_ayrawshi@MEAIndia@EU_in_India@UNESCO_MGIEP@UNESCOEU The embassy is giving out 4-5 appointment slots per day for the same no of people and appointment is given for 15 days later from the day when appointment is booked. By this speed the embassy won't be able to process visas for thousands of students before their course starts.
Covid situation in India is far better than April when travel ban was instituted. 10% of the peak & falling, 19 +ves per 100k, highest total vaccine doses (415mn+), Indian students are sincerely requesting Spain to lift the ban on study visas (c. Reuters) #studyisessential
With joblessness and debt an alternative to academic and professional success abroad, the process of securing a chance and a scholarship to study on foreign soil has no tolerance for crushing waves of a pandemic and policy decisions made in its wake.

Hope the embassy sees the pain Indian students are going through and not only lifts the ban on Indian students but also speed up the visa issue process. #studyisessential
