Background
Overview
India is a major source country for international students, making their welfare, challenges, and the immigration policies of host nations critical for India's foreign policy, consular services, and economic ties. It also highlights issues of brain drain/gain and the economic impact of remittances.
International student mobility refers to the cross-border movement of individuals for educational purposes, often with aspirations for post-study work and permanent residency. Host countries develop specific immigration policies, including work permits and visa regulations, to manage these flows, which can significantly impact bilateral relations and the economic landscape of both sending and receiving nations.
