No Visa Drama: 11 Breathtaking Trips You Can Take Easily on an Indian Passport

No one dreams of a trip only to end up photocopying bank statements at 2 AM, sweating over embassy appointments and digging out your Class 10 marksheet “just in case.” We’ve all been there — the visa process can feel like jumping through endless hoops.

But here’s the good news: travel doesn’t have to come with a paper trail. These 8 destinations either require no visa at all or offer super-easy visas on arrival or e-visas for Indian passport holders. That means less stress, more spontaneity — and a whole lot more time to daydream about beach bars, mountain hikes, or that one museum café you’ll pretend to work from.

So go ahead — start packing. We’ll take care of the where.
