Visa on Arrival for Indians: FAQ
How many countries offer visa on arrival to Indians in 2026?
25 countries offer a visa on arrival to Indian passport holders in 2026, including Maldives, Indonesia, Jordan, Bahrain and Ethiopia. On top of that, 22 countries are fully visa-free and 51 accept an e-visa or eTA - a total reach of 98 destinations.
What is a visa on arrival?
A visa on arrival (VOA) is a visa issued at the border when you land, instead of at an embassy beforehand. You typically queue at a dedicated counter, pay a fee, and receive a stamp or sticker on the spot. It is not the same as visa-free entry: a visa is still issued, and the border authority can refuse it.
What documents do I need for a visa on arrival?
Requirements vary by destination, but commonly include a passport with at least six months validity, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds, and the visa fee (often payable in cash). Always check the destination's official immigration website before flying - each country's rules and fees differ.
What is the difference between visa on arrival and visa-free?
Visa-free means you board and enter with just your passport - no visa is issued at all. Visa on arrival means a visa is still required, but it is issued at the border rather than an embassy. Indian passport holders can enter 22 countries visa-free in 2026 in addition to the 25 visa on arrival countries on this list.
Can a US visa unlock more visa on arrival countries for Indians?
Yes. With a valid US visa, Indian passport holders also get a visa on arrival in United Arab Emirates, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and 18 further destinations become fully visa-free. Conditions apply per destination - typically a valid multiple-entry US visa.
