Visa Free Countries for Indian Passport Holders: Visa-free means the ability to travel to a foreign country without the requirement of a travel visa. For this, only a valid passport is required for entry and exit purposes. Or we can say that "free visa for Indians" is a type of facility offered to the citizens of India travelling to countries that do not require any kind of visa for Indian passport holders. That is, a person does not require a visa to enter the borders or territories of any visa-free countries for Indians. On the other hand, countries that offer visa-on-arrival or an e-visa to Indians require a visa before he or she arrives at the port of entry. Check below some of the visa-free countries for Indian passport holders.
