An American tech enthusiast, Klor Anthony Louis, known online as Tony Klor, has gone viral after sharing his excitement about receiving a five-year Indian visa.
His post, made on social media platform X, quickly caught attention for both his admiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cheeky jab at former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Tony revealed that his business (B-1) visa, issued on September 23, 2025, allows him to stay in India for up to 180 days per visit and remains valid until September 22, 2030.
Sharing a photo of the visa, he wrote: “It’s official! India is opening its doors to foreign blockchain & AI builders. I’ve just been granted a girthy 5-year Indian visa.”
He went on to draw a contrast between U.S. and Indian leadership, writing: “Trump says foreigners go kick rocks. Modi says — Welcome home, Bhai.”
The tweet sparked wide discussions online, especially among Indian and tech communities, as Tony praised India’s openness toward foreign blockchain and AI professionals.
The B-1 visa category he received is typically granted to visitors attending conferences, meetings, or short-term business engagements — particularly relevant to India’s rapidly expanding technology and innovation ecosystem.
Indian users on X responded with humor and warmth. One comment read: “Having studied and worked with Indians at top U.S. universities, I can say India has some of the brightest minds in tech and AI. If that energy is channeled within India, the next decade could see global giants emerge from here.”
Another user pointed out: “This is a temporary non-immigrant visa for business activities — but hey, welcome aboard!”
And one post summed up the mood perfectly: “Looking at an Indian visa for the first time? Welcome! You’ve got 1.45 billion chances to make friends here.”
Tony’s tweet has since turned into a celebration of India’s growing appeal among global innovators — and a lighthearted reminder of how policy, opportunity, and personality can shape global tech migration.
