Visa guides for Indian passports
Which countries let you in visa-free, which need an e-visa, and which need a full embassy file — with fees, documents and the mistakes that get applications refused.
Every guide below is written for travellers holding an Indian passport and leaving from India. We check each one against the official portal and update it when rules change — but visa rules move fast, so treat the issuing government's site as final. If you would rather hand the paperwork over, our visa desk reviews and files applications for most of these countries.
