In the contemporary era, international travel has become more accessible and convenient for Indian passport holders due to the growing availability of Visa-On-Arrival (VoA) services.
This form of visa is granted to foreign nationals upon their arrival in a country, eliminating the need for a protracted pre-arrival visa application process. This development has significantly enhanced the ease of international travel for Indian citizens.
According to the latest Henley Passport Index report, the Indian passport has risen to the 80th position globally, allowing its holders to enjoy visa-free travel to 57 countries in 2024.
Moreover, various countries extend Visa-On-Arrival privileges based on factors such as diplomatic ties, economic considerations, tourism promotion, and security considerations.
To apply for a Visa-On-Arrival, individuals typically submit the required documents to immigration authorities at the airport. It’s crucial to note that this visa is issued for a specific duration and incurs a predetermined fee.
