India Passeport

The Indian passport currently offers a travel mobility score that reflects its standing in the global landscape. As of 2026, the passport ranking for India is 75th, with a total visa-free or visa-on-arrival count of 56 destinations. This ranking demonstrates the passport's access to various regions across Asia and beyond, though it does not currently include visa-free access to the Schengen Area. With an openness score of 42 and a global score of 55, Indian nationals can navigate several international borders with relative ease compared to historical data from 2006, when the visa-free count was significantly lower at 25. Travelers holding an India passport can benefit from visa-free entry to 26 countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Nepal. Additionally, the passport provides visa-on-arrival access to 28 destinations such as Indonesia, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka, alongside electronic travel authorization (eTA) for Kenya, Seychelles, and St. Kitts and Nevis. For other major regions, including the United States, United Kingdom, and much of Europe, a standard visa remains a requirement. This combination of access types defines the current travel mobility for Indian citizens, facilitating easier transit to numerous neighboring and tropical destinations.
