Indian Passport Holders Can Now Travel to 58 Countries Without a Visa

In a significant development for Indian travellers, the latest Henley Passport Index 2025 reveals that Indian passport holders can now visit 58 countries without the need for a prior visa. This enhancement in travel freedom comes as India’s passport ranking slightly declines to 81st globally, down from the 80th position in the previous year.

The list of visa-free destinations encompasses a diverse range of countries across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Oceania. Popular tourist spots such as Mauritius, Indonesia, and Fiji are among them, providing Indian travelers with opportunities to explore pristine beaches, vibrant cultures, and unique landscapes without the hassle of visa applications. Additionally, countries like Kenya and Zimbabwe offer rich wildlife experiences, while destinations like Laos and Madagascar present off-the-beaten-path adventures.

It’s important to note that while these countries offer visa-free access, travellers are typically required to present certain documents upon arrival. These may include a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, return or onward tickets, and accommodation details. The duration of stay permitted varies by country, ranging from a few days to several months.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information on visa requirements and entry conditions, travelers should consult the official websites of the respective countries’ embassies or the Ministry of External Affairs of India. Staying informed ensures a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

This expansion of visa-free access reflects the growing global mobility of Indian citizens and opens up new opportunities for tourism, business, and cultural exchange.
