62 Visa-Free Destinations for Indian Passport Holders
![travel with indian passport without visa](https://btw-crm-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/bootsy/image/2199/large_btw_visa_news_banner.jpg)
Great news for travel enthusiasts! Indian passport holders can now explore a fantastic array of 62 countries without the hassle of obtaining a visa. This exciting development opens up new horizons for globetrotters, allowing them to delve into diverse cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and historical wonders.
The expanded list encompasses popular tourist destinations across Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. These countries, recognizing the allure of attracting Indian tourists, have made it easier for them to discover iconic landmarks, pristine beaches, and cultural gems.
This positive change places Indian passport holders at the 80th rank globally on the Henley Passport Index . Although India's overall ranking remains consistent from the previous year, the significant increase in visa-free destinations is a notable jump from the previous count of 57.
The Henley Passport Index, a leading tool for passport rankings, derives its data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). It serves as a gauge for global mobility, reflecting the diplomatic reach and accessibility of passports worldwide.
The top six nations with the most powerful passports this year are France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Spain. Citizens of these countries can travel to an impressive 194 destinations without requiring a visa. On the other end of the spectrum, Afghanistan holds the lowest position, allowing visa-free entry to just 28 countries, closely followed by Syria and Iraq with 29 and 31 visa-free destinations, respectively. Unfortunately, the Pakistan passport did not fare well this year, offering access to only 34 countries.
Here is the list of the 62 countries where Indian passport holders can travel without a visa:
- British Virgin Islands
- Cape Verde Islands
- Comoro Islands
- Cook Islands
- El Salvador
- Guinea-Bissau
- Macao (SAR China)
- Marshall Islands
- Palau Islands
- Sierra Leone
- Saint Kitts and Nevis
- St Vincent and the Grenadines
- Timor-Leste
- Trinidad and Tobago
This significant expansion in visa-free access for Indian passport holders is a testament to the growing recognition of India's global presence and the potential for its citizens to contribute to the tourism industry worldwide. As the list of accessible countries continues to grow, the doors to new adventures and enriching experiences swing wide open for Indian travelers. So, pack your bags and embark on a journey of discovery, as the world eagerly welcomes Indian passport holders to explore, connect, and create lasting memories across 62 fascinating destinations.

These 62 Countries Are Visa-Free For Indian Passport Holders
![travel with indian passport without visa Indian passport holders can now travel to 62 countries without needing a visa](https://media.assettype.com/outlooktraveller%2F2024-01%2F8433c1b6-d299-4253-bf8c-7cf91affc9d0%2Fshutterstock_1140463211.jpeg?w=480&auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max)
In a positive turn for travel enthusiasts, Indian passport holders can now enjoy visa-free access to an extended list of 62 countries. This expansion opens up exciting opportunities for globetrotters to explore diverse cultures, scenic landscapes, and historical wonders without the hassle of visa applications .
The comprehensive list includes popular tourist destinations across Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. These countries, recognizing the potential of attracting Indian tourists, have eased access for them to explore iconic landmarks, pristine beaches, and cultural hotspots.
A Power Move
Indian passport holders can now travel to 62 countries without needing a visa, maintaining an 80th rank globally on the Henley Passport Index. While India's overall ranking remains consistent from the previous year, the significant increase in the number of visa-free destinations marks a notable rise from the previous count of 57.
The Henley Passport Index, considered the foremost interactive tool for passport rankings, derives its data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Serving as a barometer for global mobility, it reflects the diplomatic reach and accessibility of passports across nations.
Six nations hold the most powerful passports on this year's list: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Spain. Citizens of these nations can travel to 194 countries without a visa. On the flip side, Afghanistan holds the lowest position, granting visa-free entry to just 28 countries, followed closely by Syria and Iraq with 29 and 31 visa-free destinations, respectively. The Pakistan passport also did not perform well this year, providing access to just 34 countries.
The 62 Countries
The extensive list of countries that Indian passport holders can visit without a visa includes Angola, Barbados, Bhutan, Bolivia, British Virgin Islands, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde Islands, Comoro Islands, Cook Islands, Djibouti, Dominica, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gabon, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Indonesia, Iran, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Laos, Macao (SAR China), Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mauritius, Micronesia, Montserrat, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niue, Oman, Palau Islands, Qatar, Rwanda, Samoa, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Saint Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Zimbabwe.

In 2022, in terms of travel freedom, the Indian passport ranking is 85.
Indian passport holders are able to visit 25 countries visa-free, 33 countries with a visa on arrival, and 29 with an eVisa.

Visa-free travel lets see new locations and make new friends
Traveling to visa-free countries lets Indian citizens visit a country without going through the hassle of the visa application process.
Indian passport holders won't need to spend time planning days or weeks in advance, so they are free to go wherever they want. They may travel to some new, unusual destination they wouldn't visit if it required a visa.
As Indians don't waste their energy on paperwork and attending an embassy, they are more open to communication and making friends during the trip.
What to do in order to get Indian citizenship
Indian citizenship can be acquired by birth, descent, registration, and naturalization.
Anyone can get citizenship by naturalization if they are a resident of India for 12 years and fulfills other qualifications as stated in the Third Schedule of the Citizenship Act.
In order to apply for Indian citizenship by naturalization, you shall provide copies of a valid passport, residential permit, and bank challan, one affidavit from you and two affidavits from two Indians, two language certificates certifying knowledge in any one of the Indian languages and two newspaper cuttings notifying the intention to apply for citizenship.
Good things about traveling to visa-free countries for Indian citizens
With visa-free access to a country, you don't have to deal with paperwork, fill out lengthy application forms or meet requirements for additional documentation.
If you can travel without a visa, you save money, as you don't need to cover a visa fee for yourself and each person you are traveling with.

Tips for trips to non-visa-free countries
If you are traveling to a non-visa-free country, you should apply for the entry document. Note that it's not always compulsory to go to an embassy. You may get an eVisa or a visa on arrival to save your time and money.
Make sure that all required documents are valid and provided data is correct.
Even if you have digital documents on your device, it's better to have a paper copy on hand in case of some issues.
Is it essential to research the different visa requirements of each country before traveling?
It is essential to check all the visa requirements for your destination before traveling. First of all, this ensures you will be able to enter the country, as if you don't meet some requirements, customs officers just won't let you in. Secondly, research will help you to choose the optimal entry documents option.

List of Visa Free Countries for Indian Passport Holders
![travel with indian passport without visa List of Visa Free Countries for Indian Passport Holders](https://nationwidevisas.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/upload/post-images/top-24-visa-free-countries-for-indians-561661238210.jpg)
The very first thing that springs to mind when preparing for a vacation abroad is applying for a visa. Prepare to spend hours online poring over the convoluted visa application procedures for the nation you want to visit. But, did you know that there are several countries where a visa is not required for Indians? In a few other places as well, you can obtain a visa upon arrival.
As of January 2024, there are the top nations in the world where Indians can travel without a visa, with a visa upon arrival, or with an electronic visa. This positions the Indian passport at the 84th level, in terms of the freedom to travel, according to the Henley Passport Index (the global ranking of countries according to their citizen's freedom of travel). But what do nations that don't require visas for Indians mean? Once more, what do entry permit and visa on arrival mean? We'll look at these definitions now.
Visa Types available to Indian citizens
They are official papers that are issued by governments to allow outsiders to travel to their respective countries. Visas are identification cards that specify the length of time you are permitted to stay in the foreign nation, in a contrast to passports which serve as documentation of your country of origin. The visa application process is now governed by a variety of laws from different nations. The table below provides an illustration of the same:
1. Visa-Free: The advantage of not needing a visa to enter a nation is known as visa-free travel. This is relevant if the two concerned nations have an agreement to that effect or if the nation one is visiting has unilaterally opened its borders to foreign nationals.
2. Visa on arrival: Also referred to as an on-arrival visa, this is a document that is issued to a traveler at the port of entry. Government officials at the port of entry start and finish the full visa-issuing process.
3. E-Visas: In essence, e-Visas are official paperwork that a nation's immigration official issues online to allow travelers entry. These serve as an alternative to conventional paper-based visas granted by embassies.
4. Entry Permit: In place of visas, several nations provide entry permits to visitors. These entry permits are legal documents that grant visitors the right to enter and remain in the nation for a specific amount of time.
In 2024, holders of Indian passports can travel visa-free to 62 other countries. No visa is needed in advance or upon arrival. The particular qualifications for admittance, however, could differ from one nation to another. Indian citizens do not need a visa in advance (i.e., before leaving) or a visa upon arrival to travel to these nations. Here is a list of 24 nations where Indian nationals can travel visa-free:
![Visa Types available to Indian citizens Visa Types available to Indian citizens](https://www.nationwidevisas.com/upload/gallery-images/-841661237467.jpg)
- Cook Islands
MIDDLE EAST:
- The British Virgin Islands
- St.Kiits and Nevia
- Trinidad and Tobago
- El Salvador
To Conclude:
Indian citizens will not need a visa of any kind, meaning they won't need one at all. To visit a tourist destination that is one of the nations that do not require Indian citizens to obtain a visa before traveling, an electronic visa (e-visa), or a visa upon arrival, you do not need to do either.
It's important to distinguish between nations that allow Indians to obtain visas on arrival and nations that do not. You won't ever need a visit visa of any kind to enter a country that doesn't require one for Indian citizens. However, if you obtain a visa on arrival, you must have it stamped at the port of entry once you have arrived as an Indian tourist.

What’s the first thing you do after returning from a summer holiday? Start planning another one, of course.
But heading to Europe next year will be a little different for Brits, thanks to a new visa scheme called ETIAS.
As it stands, visitors from the UK can visit the EU’s Schengen area (a borderless collective of 29 countries) for up to 90 days, every 180 days, without a visa.
The new scheme means anyone travelling to popular tourist hotspots including Portugal , Spain and Greece , will need to apply — and pay a €7 (around £6) visa waiver charge.
Here’s what you need to know before you jet off.
What is the new EU visa waiver scheme – ETIAS?
Known as the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), the waiver will be similar to the ESTA, which is required for UK passport holders travelling to the US .
Set to be launched in spring, travellers will need to apply online or via an app. Most applications should be approved within a few minutes – although it could take up to three days.
More complex passengers should give themselves 30 days to be approved
How much is ETIAS?
Officials in Brussels have confirmed that Brits travelling to Europe will need to apply for the visa waiver, and that it will cost the equivalent of €7.
The EU Commission insists this is ‘way cheaper’ than the US Esta, which costs $14 (€12.50 or £10.75).
The fee will apply to travellers aged between 18 and 70, but the visa will be free for children and anyone over 70.

When will the EU visa scheme start?
ETIAS is set to be launched in spring 2025 , according to Ylva Johansson, the EU home affairs commissioner.
The ETIAS will be introduced alongside the EUs new Entry/Exit System (EES), which will come into force on November 10.
How long will ETIAS be valid for?
The visas will be valid for three years – or until your passport expires – whichever comes first.
If the ETIAS are indeed launched by spring, it could mean that anyone going away during May half-term will require one.
Why has ETIAS been introduced?
The EES means that all passengers without EU passports will have their fingerprints and pictures taken upon arrival.
The aim is that the combination of the ETIAS and EES will make the European Union’s borders more secure.
Ylva Johansson said: ‘With the Entry/Exit System we will know exactly who enters the Schengen Area, with a foreign passport. We will know if people stay too long. Countering irregular migration.
‘And the Entry/Exit System will make it harder for criminals, terrorists or Russian spies to use fake passports. Thanks to biometric identification: photos and fingerprints. It will be goodbye to passport stamping, hello to digital checks for all passengers from outside the EU, making travel easier, and border checks gradually faster.
‘And then the next step comes quick – ETIAS. Live in 2025 – travel authorisation to enter 30 European countries for people from 60 visa free countries.’

But critics say the move will cause headaches for travellers and border force officials, with long queues predicted and experts already warning it could add at least two minutes of processing time per passenger.

Faster Visas, More Direct Flights: What India-U.S. Tourism Needs – India Report
![travel with indian passport without visa Bulbul Dhawan](https://skift.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/bulbul-about-page.jpg)
Bulbul Dhawan , Skift
August 26th, 2024 at 11:00 PM EDT
Travel is growing between India and the U.S. but there is a lot of room for growth. The key will be knocking down barriers and making travel easier.
Bulbul Dhawan
The Skift India Newsletter is your go-to platform for all news related to travel, tourism, airlines, and hospitality in India.
What can India and U.S. do to boost tourism? According to the first Indo-U.S. Tourism and Hospitality Summit held by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce in Delhi on Friday, the answer is speedier visas and more direct flights.
Suman Billa, Additional Secretary with India’s Tourism Ministry, said that the bulk of India-U.S. air travel is through third countries like those in the Middle East or Europe. “If we get more direct flights, not only will the market become more cost competitive for people to travel both ways, but it will also add to the convenience of traveling to the U.S. But for some reason, this is not happening,” he said.
Currently, for the most part, Air India, American Airlines, and United Airlines are the carriers operating non-stop flights between the two countries.
Billa further noted that even though the visa for the U.S. is valid for 10 years, the process is cumbersome.
Still, there’s been a lot of progress. In January, the U.S. Embassy said that it had reduced visa appointment wait times in India by 75% last year, even as there was a 60% increase in applications from 2022. It said that process improvements and staffing decisions brought down the appointment wait time for visitor visas from an average of 1,000 days to 250 days.
At the Skift India Summit in March, Eric Garcetti, U.S. Ambassador to India, said that he was asked by U.S. President Joe Biden to work on reducing the backlog of visa applications. “I don’t know this for sure, but I bet it’s the only time the United States president has told the ambassador, ‘Please work on visa issues,’” Garcetti said.
At the Chamber of Commerce event, Jonathan M Heimer, minister counselor for commercial affairs, U.S. Commercial Service, said that over the past year, visa processing has gained momentum. “We have been able to process 60% more visas with more or less the same resources. We have also issued more than 1.1 million visas in the last year, which is a record for us,” he said.
Short-Term Visas? MakeMyTrip co-founder and group CEO Rajesh Magow suggested the introduction of short-term visas for tourists. “There are many other countries which have done it, so maybe a short-term tourist visa can be quick and could be one potential innovation that can happen,” he said.
Between January and May 2024, India emerged as the second-largest international source market – not including Canada and Mexico – for tourism in the U.S., data from the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) showed . In 2023, 1.7 million Indian tourists visited the U.S., and NTTO is expecting this number to increase to 2 million by 2027.
India’s Potential for Growth: Billa said that even though India and the U.S. share a strong bilateral relationship and travel between the nations is growing, there is significant room for progress. “Even though the numbers are good, from the tourism perspective, India has not really capitalized on the potential we have. There is probably much more headroom for us to capture,” he added.
At the Skift India Summit, Garcetti had said that there is a big demand from Indian tourists to visit the U.S., but the reverse is not true. “Americans don’t know India and Indians like India and Indians know America and Americans.

Indian Gen-Z Travelers Embracing Technology to Enhance Experience
Indian Gen-Z travelers (born between 1995 and 2010) are embracing technology to enhance their travel experiences, Booking.com said on Thursday. It said that about 70% of the surveyed Gen-Z travelers in India are comfortable with including more technology in their travel planning.
They are also comfortable taking suggestions from AI on places that are less explored and using it to make an itinerary.
Indian Gen-Z travelers also seek value for money and use off-peak season to travel to save costs. They also consider including unique once-in-a-lifetime experiences during their trip, such as skydiving or hot air ballooning. Over 70% of them also look for travel discounts through loyalty programs to increase their savings.
The platform added that about 70% of Gen-Z travelers admitted to repeating an accommodation that they had enjoyed.
“With 65% of India’s population under the age of 35 years, it is crucial to understand the travel sentiment of the Gen Z travelers as they redefine the way we experience the world. Their eagerness for unique and immersive experiences and tech prowess while prioritizing value for money is driving the demand for innovative technology-based travel solutions and experiential travel,” said Santosh Kumar, country manager for India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Indonesia at Booking.com.
