Among the countries that Indian passport holders can visit visa-free include Malaysia, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan, Maldives, Mauritius and others.

The Henley Passport Index compares the visa-free access of 199 different passports to 227 travel destinations. If no visa is required, then a score with value = 1 is created for that passport. The same applies if you can obtain a visa on arrival (VOA), a visitor’s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) when entering the destination, Henley and Partners said.

World's most powerful passport

Where a visa is required, or where a passport holder has to obtain a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure, a score with value = 0 is assigned. This also applies if you need pre-departure government approval for a visa on arrival. The total score for each passport is equal to the number of destinations for which no visa is required (value = 1).

As per the latest Henley Passport Index, Singapore has the world’s most powerful passport, giving its citizens visa-free access to 195 countries. At the second spot is Japan with a score of 193. Finland, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and Spain share the third position with a score of 192.
