20 countries Indians can travel to without a visa

By Arundhati Ail and Ria Gupta

With summer kicking in, you have the official licence to chill. A spanner in the works could be visas, with long waiting times—stretching into weeks, in some cases. Luckily, there are a whole host of countries that Indians can travel to without a visa . The catch, however, is that many of these are not easy to get to—some of them require spending what could feel like a lifetime in a connecting flight. But to help carve out your summer plans, here’s a list of countries that let Indian passport holders in without a visa and the validity period of the stay there: Note: Some countries still require you to obtain a permit at the point of entry, and it's important that you don’t overstay your visa-free stay period in the country.

Here are the countries Indian passport holders can travel without a visa:

One flight away:.

Bhutan (14 days)

Tigers Nest in Paro Valley, Bhutan

Mauritius (90 days)

Charmarel waterfalls, Mauritius

Nepal (no limitation)

Two flights away:

Barbados (90 days)

Shipwreck in Carlisle Bay, Barbados

Fiji (120 days)

Top 15 Countries Indians Can Travel to Without A Visa (2020)

Planning a vacation to a foreign land is both enticing and exciting, but many of us lose heart thinking of the visa paperwork. But as Lao Tzu said, “A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving,” as there are countries you can visit without a visa. To help you get started, here’s our list of top countries you can travel to without a visa

Lying on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, lies the happiest country in the world, Bhutan. Indian nationals do not need a visa to visit Bhutan, just a valid ID that can be your passport valid up to 6 months or Voter Identity Card issued by Election Commission of India.

When in Bhutan, visit the picturesque monasteries, admire the original Bhutanese architecture of Ringpung Dzong, enjoy views of the Chele La Pass, discover spiritual awakening at Tango Buddhist Institute and visit iconic sites like the Buddha Dordenma Statue, Tiger’s Nest, Drukgyel Dzong Ruins, Motithang Takin Preserve, and the Jangtsa Dumtseg Lhakhang Temple.

2) Hong Kong

Hong Kong is another popular destination for Indians that is visa-free, filled with markets, restaurants, pubs and oodles of entertainment. All you need to do to visit Hong Kong is fill an online form before your visit and enjoy the 14-day visa-free stay.

In Hong Kong, there’s a lot to explore. For shopaholics, the Temple Street Market and Ladies’ Market are the best sites while Lantau Island is a major relief from the fast-paced city life.

Macau has become popular in India thanks to the many award functions by the Bollywood and TV industry hosted there. You can enter the Las Vegas of Asia with a valid Indian passport and no visa for a stay up to a month.

A paradise for bettors and gamblers, Macau has offers for explorers too. Chinese and Portuguese inspired buildings make for a wonderful experience, while a visit to the Taipa Village gives you insight into the Portuguese influence on local culture. Don’t forget to try the Portuguese egg tart when in Macau.

Unquestionably most Indians’ go-to tourist spot for something ‘exotic’, Nepal is so familiar to us that we sometimes forget that it is a foreign nation. You can reach Nepal by road or air without requiring a visa. All you need is either a valid passport (when travelling by flight) or the Election Commission Card.

Nepal is recognized across the globe for its exotic Himalayan beauty and of course, Mount Everest. You will be appropriately awed by the Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal and UNESCO World Heritage Site Boudhanath stupa. And adventure junkies will have plenty to enjoy here.

As an Indian citizen, you can stay up to 90 days in Grenada visa-free with a valid passport and national authority issued ID.

Part of the Americas, the nation of Grenada is a treasure trove of beaches, colorful houses, green forests, and underwater coral treasures. The smell of the nutmeg in the air rightfully earns the country its title of’ Spice Island’. Traveller can hike through rainforests, stroll on the Grand Anse beach, explore the ocean like at Moliniere Bay and go turtle spotting at Anse La Roche.

This Caribbean island nation is on the bucket list of many Indians who want to explore its reef-lined beaches. You do not need a visa to stay in the country for up to 14 days, provided you have a valid passport with up to 6 months’ validity and blank visa pages.

There’s a lot to enjoy an impromptu vacation in the country. Enjoy a splendid hike up the hills at the Mountains National Park that’s also known for its coffee. If you are feeling particularly adventurous then climb the Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios.

A country rich in culture as much as its natural beauty, Haiti is a location where you get closest to the Caribbean roots of African culture. You can enter the country with a valid Indian passport with an expiry of more than 6 months. Also, you will have to pay a tourist fee of $10 at the airport.

When in Haiti, do not limit yourself to only the pretty beaches but go deeper and explore the past visiting the mountain fortress, the Citadelle la Ferrière, and the ruins of Sans-Souci Palace. For museums, heritage buildings and a 19th-century cathedral, visit the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

8) El Salvador

Indian travellers are exempted from a visa to visit El Salvador for a stay maximum of 90 days. All you need when you land in the Caribbean nation is a valid passport or a national ID card.

El Salvador is a pretty underrated tourist location which makes it an even more offbeat attraction. For action, the capital city of San Salvador is the best, but to nurture your soul, you will have to venture outside the cities into secluded dark-hued beaches, expansive coffee plantations, old villages with colonial flavor, and national parks.

Ecuador offers visa on arrival for Indian citizens for a maximum stay up to 90 days, provided you have a valid passport, air tickets, accommodation proof and proof of financial means to support yourself for the entire stay. Ecuador is a destination you want to visit for the experience of many vacations rolled into one. There is an abundance of activities to enjoy.

Wildlife watching in Amazon rainforest, plenty of beach time, ancient stone cobbled streets of its old villages, monasteries, and churches all make for a delight. The Galapagos Islands is a must-visit for its volcanic mountains and wildlife.

10) Bolivia

An exotic visa-free foreign land for Indians to hop to, Bolivia has a diverse natural made up that consists of mountains, deserts, and rainforests. Jungles bustling with wildlife, indigenous people and colorful parades make Bolivia an uninitiated travel destination for Indians. National parks, salt flats, ancient pyramids, and crystal-clear lakes give memories for life.

11) Cook Island

The Cook Islands is another paradise in the South Pacific that welcomes Indians with open arms and no requirement for a visa. A group of 15 islands scattered over the south pacific, the country is best for water sports lovers who like scuba diving and snorkeling. For an exceptional beach experience, you can visit the Aitutaki Lagoon, experience the vibrancy of the Muri Night Market and conclude your tour at the popular One Foot Island.

Strategically located near Australia and New Zealand, Fiji is another paradise for Indian travellers to visit without a visa. You are issued a visa on arrival provided you have a valid passport with a minimum of 6 months validity, a valid return or onward air ticket, hotel booking confirmation, sufficient funds and original bank statement for 3 months.

Tucked away in the South Pacific, Fiji is a compilation of 333 islands. Your trip to this quintessential island paradise is not complete without visiting the Kula Eco Park that is home to exotic Fiji flora and fauna. Don’t forget to jet ski and snorkel when visiting the gorgeous Denarau Island.

13) Indonesia

Indonesia has a visa on arrival policy for Indian passport holders. You will require a passport with 6 months validity and at least two blank pages and valid return tickets to procure a visa on arrival.

The sprawling islands of Indonesia are known for their beaches and old temples. When in Indonesia, a visit to Bali, the favorite honeymoon destination is a must. Borobudur, the orangutans of Borneo and Gill islands are a must-visit too.

A valid Indian passport and a national ID card are all you need to enter into the Caribbean city of Samoa. You will be allotted a permit on arrival with no visa requirement.

You can snorkel at the Lalomanu Beach, dive into the famous Togitogiga Waterfall or witness the raising of infant turtles by the locals at the Satoalepai Turtle Sanctuary.

15) Mauritius

The surreal beaches and splendid holiday resorts of Mauritius are not restricted by a visa. Indian nationals can receive a visa on arrival, provided they have valid documents that include your passport with an expiry beyond the period of stay, valid return ticket, booking confirmation and sufficient funds for the stay.

In Mauritius, other than exploring the beaches, lagoons, and reefs, you can visit Chamarel where the uneven volcanic surface has been coloured with rainbow hues. The L’Aventure Du Sucre will appeal to people with a sweet tooth. It’s a popular sugar museum with its sugar fields!

Now that you know how easy it is to visit these destinations, there’s no point in waiting! Click here to plan your trip now!

List of Visa Free Countries for Indian Passport Holders

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:

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.

Unless, your dream vacation includes one of these ten beautiful destinations that you can travel to without any worries about the visa.

Henley & Partners, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently came out with the passport index.

Japan ranks the highest in this list with 191 countries, followed by Singapore with 190 countries whereas Afghanistan ranked last with visa-free access to only 26 countries.

This year, India ranked 84th on the list which is 2 places lower than last year, with visa-free travel access to 58 destinations. Some of these might require visa-on arrival, though. We’ve hand-picked the 10 best alternatives out of these 58, to make your next visa-free travel plan much easier.

The best time to visit is the months of march and april which is the peak period for blooming rhododendrons. Punakha Dzong, Paro Taktsang and Rinpung Dzong are some of the finest places to visit in this landlocked country.

This spectacular island country is known for its coral reefs with clear lagoons, the palm-lined beaches and robust landscapes and the peak travel months include April-May and Dec-Jan. Qalito Island and Mamanuca islands are some of the places that would make your Fiji trip worth it.

The multi-cultural island nation located in the Indian Ocean is popular for its beaches, lagoons and reefs. December-February is the peak time for snorkeling and diving at Île aux Cerfs and the landmark summit of Le Morne Brabant is another great place to check out.

Home to the world's highest mountain Mt. Everest, Nepal is known for its temples and Himalayan mountains. Nepal's good relations with India allows us to visit Nepal without a passport or visa. Peak season for trekking is September to November due to its mild weather during that time.

Explained: How New Schengen Visa Rules Ease Europe Travel For Indians

The schengen area comprises 25 countries out of the 27 eu countries except the republic of ireland and cyprus..

A Schengen visa permits a brief stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day timeframe.

The European Union (EU) recently introduced a revamped visa system tailored specifically for Indian nationals. This new system offers substantial advantages to Indian citizens, allowing them access to long-term, multi-entry Schengen visas, which can significantly streamline travel plans and enhance the overall experience for those venturing into the Schengen area.

What Is Schengen Visa

The Schengen area comprises 25 countries out of the 27 EU countries except the Republic of Ireland and Cyprus. It includes countries such as Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. This extensive area not only offers diverse cultural experiences but also facilitates seamless travel across borders for visa holders.

A Schengen visa permits a brief stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day timeframe. This visa may be issued as either a single-entry, enabling one entry into the Schengen area, or a multiple-entry, allowing multiple visits for the duration of its validity.

How The New Rules Affect Indians

Under the new regulations, Indian travellers can now obtain a two-year Schengen visa, a marked improvement from the shorter validity periods previously available. To qualify for this extended two-year visa, applicants must have acquired and appropriately utilised two Schengen visas within the preceding three years. Upon successful utilisation of the two-year visa, travellers can typically expect to be eligible for a five-year Schengen visa, provided their passport maintains sufficient validity.

The new rules essentially say that Indian travellers can move freely within the Schengen member countries for short stays, typically up to 90 days within any 180-day period, without the need for additional permits or authorisations. Under this system, eligible travellers with a proven track record of travel will have simplified access to visas with extended validity, provided their passport's validity permits.

Promoted Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com

The 'Cascade' system, as it's termed, is designed to reward frequent travellers with progressively longer visa durations. It begins with a two-year visa, and upon successful use, travellers can potentially qualify for a five-year visa. While these visas do not restrict the purpose of travel, they do not allow the right to work within the Schengen area.

The decision to tweak the rules comes in the broader context of improving relations between the EU and India

7 Overseas Paradises Every Indian Can Visit Without A Visa

Photo of Adyasha Dash (The Wandering Mind)

To travel is a wonderful thing and as The Dalai Lama once stated, every year go some place you have never been before. While there are many beautiful sights to see in India itself, it always interesting to know what lies beyond, and to satiate this curiosity we often go through quite a few formalities before we can legally enter another country. Visas have for a long time discouraged travelers from taking that last minute vacation abroad. While getting a Visa for a lot of countries isn't really a hassle, its great to know that there are still a few destinations where Indian citizens are allowed to set foot without a visa. So the next time you want to go abroad and don't want to bother with a visa, try any one of these.

Lush greenery, the mighty Himalayas, and quaint monasteries welcome you to Bhutan with open arms, minus a visa if you are an Indian passport holder. What better place to rush off to for a little break! Bhutan is one of the remotest places in the world and somewhere this makes it an ideal vacation destination for city folks who are looking at disconnecting from the world for a few days. The sole airport at Paro can be reached via only Druk Air from Delhi and Kolkata . One can also drive down if flying isn't working out. Places to visit includes, Paro, Thimpu, Dochu La Pass, Taktsang Lakhang and Gangtey.

2. Dominica

Dominica is not the short form for Dominican Republic but is another island in the Caribbeans. Island, sea, Caribbeans; these are all the right words for a perfect beach vacation and it's even better when we say that its visa-free for Indian citizens! thinking of a longer stay? Well! guess what, Dominica allows Indian citizens to stay as long as 22 months without a visa! Ideally meant for those who want to sit back and relax while taking in the views of the gorgeous sea and the occasional snorkeling. The island is rich with lush forests, mountains, as many as 300 rivers and even houses the world's second largest hot spring - Boiling Lake! There are no direct flights to Dominica from India and yes a round trip fare would cost as much as INR 2,00,000. Steep I would say but if cash flow is not an issue, then go for it.

3. Mauritius

I cannot stress enough on the fact that Mauritius is much more than a honeymoon destination, its also a great destination for family trips as well as a trip with friends. Things you can do in Mauritius? Well lets see, Snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, big game fishing, big cat interactions at Casela Nature Park, Sky Diving at Skydive Mauritius, Shopping at Port Louis, enjoy the nightlife at Grand Baie, shopping at outlets of luxury brands rejects and watch some of the most spectacular sunsets of your life as you soak in some of the good life! Mauritius is easily accessible from India and a comfortable trip for 7 days with a stay in a star hotel would cost roughly around INR 1,00,000 per head.

Think Jamaica and the instant picture that comes to my mind is a lazy day by the beach, sipping on some Pina Coladas while some Reggae music plays in the background. Jamaica is the perfect picture of a tropical island. Lush mountainous forests, reef lined coasts and great nightlife. Its as if Jamaica was created so that the world could have a perfect place to visit for a break. I mean Bob Marley was born here, shouldn't that be reason enough anyway?! When in Jamaica do stay at one of the fantastic resorts at Montego Bay, go for some snorkeling at Negril and get your fill of the legend Bob Marley at Kingston which houses the famous Bob Marley Museum.

Blue lagoons, palm trees and some of the best beaches in the world come at a no visa requirement for Indian passport holders. Now isn't that something! Fiji is the perfect picture of an exotic island and maybe only 2nd to Seychelles for the same. Apart from the obvious there is a lot more to see in Fiji, visit Denarau island, Mount Tomanivi, Sawa-i-lau (a limestone island),Bouma National Heritage Park, Navala village, and the Sigatoka sand dunes,yup you heard that right!

6. El Salvador

El Salvador is a small South American country which is usually not on most people's mind when they are planning a vacation, but this little country has a lot to off for the beach bums and surfers and if you are Indian, then please go ahead and surf past the visa process! The capital San Salvador has a flourishing nightlife and an equally great arts and culture scene, spend a lazy afternoon at the outdoor markets hunting for a good bargain and follow it up with a night of revelry, all this with an imposing backdrop of volcanoes, exciting isn't it?! Other places of interest are Juayu which is known for it's weekend food festival, Alegria which is a beautiful mountain town which is rich in flowering plants and last but not the least The Maya Ruins at Tazumal.

7. Hong Kong

Yes, Hong Kong has a visa free stay period of 14 days for Indian passport holders if you are flying to Hong Kong directly from India. Basically accessibility to the nearest Disneyland just got a lot more simpler. Hong Kong is one the most vibrant Asian countries and has a thriving nightlife and is also a great destination for shoppers. The best thing about Hong Kong is that it can be enjoyed with both family and friends and 14 days is more than enough to explore what it has to offer. Hong Kong is connected via all major airports in India.

Indians can now stay in Switzerland, Amsterdam for up to 2 years like visa-free nationals. Check details

W ith European Union (EU) adopting favourable Schengen visa rules for Indians, the strength of Indian passport is arguably set to grow with travel to 29 European countries getting seamless and hassle-free.

Incidentally, Indian passport is currently ranked at 85 , as per Henley Passport Index for 2024 that ranks 199 nations based on the strength of their passports. Our neigbouring country Pakistan is ranked at 106, while Bangladesh at 102.

Under the new Schengen visa regime , Indians will now be able to enter any of these European countries multiple times for two years, which is further extendable by 5 years, and stay there like a visa-free national.

This is a stark departure from the current practice. Until now, when Indians intend to travel to one or more European countries, they are meant to apply for the much sought-after Schengen visa, which is given for a maximum of three months.

ALSO READ: Indians can now apply for multiple entry Schengen visa with longer validity. Check details

But now, under the cascade regime -- guess what? You can stay in Switzerland, Amsterdam, and/ or any other European countries such as Austria, Hungary, Poland, Belgium, Germany, France, among others, for as long as five years without any hiccups.

According to a report in Aug 2023, Scandinavian region in Europe saw a substantial growth of 140 percent as of August 2023 in comparison to pre-COVID levels in 2020, according to insights from MakeMyTrip.

Let us understand how this will work:

How will this work?

This is primarily beneficial for those Indians who frequently travel to one or more of European countries. And if you have travelled to Europe on a Schengen visa for two times in the past three years, then you are eligible for this new visa category ‘cascade regime’ under which you will be given two-year multi entry visa and you can travel and stay in any of these countries just like an individual who does not require a visa to be there.

But the only catch is that you won’t be allowed to work and earn there like a local citizen.

"The two-year visa will normally be followed by a five-year visa, if the passport has sufficient validity remaining. During the validity period of these visas, holders enjoy travel rights equivalent to visa-free nationals," reads the statement shared by Herve Delphin, Ambassador, Delegation of European Union to India on ‘X’ Platform.

5-year post-study visa in France

This Schengen move is testimony to growing partnership between Europe and India. Last year, France also eased its visa rules for inbound Indian students.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited France in July 2023, the European nation had extended five-year post-study visa to Indian students who had completed their master's degree there.

Earlier, Indians were given two-year work visa after completing their master's degree.

You can not work and earn like a local citizen in Europe under the Schengen visa.

This two-year visa will then be followed by a five-year visa so long as the passport has sufficient validity. For example, if the passport is set to expire three years later, then the visa seeker won’t be able to get the Schengen visa extended by five years. Schengen visas allow the holder to travel freely in the Schengen area for short stays of a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. The visas are not purpose-bound, but they do not grant the right to work.
