Visa requirements for Indian citizens

Visa requirements for Indian citizens

Visa requirements for Indian citizens are as follows:

According to passport information from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), some 71 countries and territories provide visa-free OR  visa-on-arrival access to holders of Republic of India passports (details in table under).

To an Indian 33 countries and territories offer visa-upon-arrival, while 28 countries and territories are accessible visa-free.

Where visa-free access is permitted, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission may technically be at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Visitors engaging in activities other than tourism, including unpaid work, may require a visa or work permit.

The country of residence is a factor in determining the visa requirements for Indian passport holders when visiting some countries. For example, an Indian residing in the USA holding a permanent resident permit (Green Card) does not need a visa to travel to Canada . Indian citizens do not need a visa to travel and work in Nepal and there is no restriction on the number of days they live/work in Nepal and vice versa for Nepalese citizens as well.
