New Delhi: Being the first Indian chosen to host the International Emmy Awards does not make one special when it comes to getting a Schengen visa. Comedian Vir Das has been forced to postpone his show in Dublin as the Swedish Embassy denied his request for a double-entry Schengen visa.
The comedian took to the social media platform X on Saturday morning to announce that his Dublin show would have to be pushed to a later date as he cannot leave Sweden on his single-entry Schengen visa. He had been slated to perform in the capital city of Ireland on October 7 as part of his Mind Fool Tour.
Ireland, although a part of the European Union, is not in Schengen.
Das said that the Schengen visa for his tour assistant was also rejected as the Swedish Embassy did not believe he would return to India, Hindustan Times reported.
“Applied for a double entry Schengen. The Swedish embassy in their infinite wisdom give me a single entry one and rejected my tour assistant saying they don’t believe he’s going to return to India. Now I have to push a Dublin show because I can’t leave Schengen. What a week!” Das wrote on X.
