When you’re gearing up for an overseas vacation, one of the most significant hurdles is often the timely acquisition of a visa. However, for select travel destinations, you might find yourself in a pleasantly different situation: either being granted a visa on arrival at no cost or enjoying visa-free entry.
In the recent release of the Henley Passport Index rankings, India has made noteworthy progress, climbing five positions to secure the 81st spot. This marks a positive advancement compared to its position in the previous year. This positive shift holds significance for Indian travelers, as it opens up opportunities for visa-free travel to a range of new destinations.
Here are some countries where Indians can avail themselves of visa-free travel privileges:
- Barbados
- Maldives
- Mauritius
- Niue Islands
- Senegal
- Bhutan
- Dominica
- Grenada
- Haiti
- Montserrat
- Nepal
- Samoa
- Senegal (Note: This entry appears twice in the list.)
- St Vincent and the Grenadines
- Suriname
- Trinidad and Tobago
It’s important to note that while these destinations grant visa-free entry, a valid passport and other essential documents, such as flight and accommodation details, are still prerequisites for a smooth travel experience.
