Common questions
Travelling on a India passport, answered from the same rules listed above.
27, out of the 210 countries covered here. That counts destinations admitting an India passport with nothing applied for in advance. It does not count the 21 that issue a visa at the border or the 50 with an e-visa, which are listed separately below.
Angola, Barbados, Bhutan, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Fiji, Gambia and Grenada and 19 more, grouped in the list above by what each one asks for. Every country links to the exact rule, because the stay a visa-free entry allows ranges widely between them.
21 of the 210 listed, including Burundi, Cambodia, Comoros, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia and Jordan. A visa on arrival is issued at the border, and the fee and documents it requires are checked at the counter rather than corrected there.
50 of the 210 listed, including Albania, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Benin and Botswana. An e-visa is applied for and approved online before you travel, with no embassy appointment.
Yes, for Hong Kong, Kenya, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles, South Africa and Sri Lanka. A travel authorisation is not a visa — it is an online pre-screening of travellers who already need no visa — but it must be approved before you board, and an airline will refuse check-in without it.
Yes. Every Schengen country in this list requires a visa for an India passport. One short-stay Schengen visa covers all 29 members, so you apply once — to the country you will spend the most time in — rather than per destination.

The same question on a different nationality. Rules differ sharply between passports, so check the one you will actually travel on.
