A holiday that requires minimal planning is truly unique. For those holidays, consider destinations that provide a visa on arrival for Indian travellers. Stepping into a country that doesn't require visas is one of the most inviting experiences, but landing in a destination where obtaining a visa is a routine process is a close second.
Indian passport holders can travel to over 25 countries with a visa-on-arrival facility, while 56 destinations offer either visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry. According to global passport rankings, which assess visa-free travel opportunities based on international travel data, India currently holds the 80th position. With easy access to several Asian countries and other scenic international locations, Indian travellers can enjoy smoother and more convenient international journeys.
