Check out these beautiful places where your Indian Passport can take you to
For each of those who spend a considerable amount of their free days and money on international journeys, you understand the process of obtaining a visa and e visa for Indian comes to a relief in this process.
Think about those long periods of time dedicated to gathering all your documents, then getting an appointment and then continuing with the face-to-face interview at the visa center. And then, of course, it is the most difficult part of the trip: wait to see if you have been granted a visa or not.
For countries that have famous and problematic visa rules for Indian passport holders (Europe, USA, etc.), Staying still for the visa seems like an extraordinary assignment.
The worst part is that during this waiting period, you don't even realize if you start organizing an itinerary or not. And then, when you really get your passport with the sealed visa, you must hurry to process your trip because there is really nothing left. Unless you apply for a visa each of those months in advance!
In your common Indian passport, as of now, you can travel without a visa to approximately 25 countries, you can get visa on arrival in 41 countries, and you need a pre-trip visa for 132 countries. Though the list changes every year.
