Indian travellers can now visit up to 58 countries without a visa. This possibility saves the time-consuming and difficult procedure of applying for visas, submitting documents, and scheduling embassy appointments. Visa-free travel is a benefit that is heavily based on the strength of a country’s passport. While the Indian passport is not the strongest in the world, it does give entry to a wide range of destinations.
According to the current Henley Passport Index for 2025, India’s passport ranking has dropped from 80 to 81. This slight decline demonstrates that, while Indian tourists suffer limitations in many parts of the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, several places remain visa-free.
Popular tourist destinations such as Mauritius, Indonesia, and the Maldives are on the list. Several African countries, including Kenya and Zimbabwe, also allow visa-free entry and are recognised for their animal adventures. Oceania’s islands, such as Fiji, Vanuatu, and Micronesia, provide unique travel opportunities for nature enthusiasts.
Furthermore, neighbouring nations such as Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka allow Indians to enter without a visa or issue visas upon arrival.
