How the finder works

Each row summarises one official page that we read ourselves. The row shows the entry rule, the days the page allows, the forms it names and any child rules it states. If the page states none, the row says so rather than guessing. Enter a trip length and the finder flags a trip that is longer than the stay the page states. Enter your return date and it flags a rule that the page says ends before you come home.

Rows older than 45 days since we last read the page are greyed out with a note to verify on the official site. Links go to government or embassy pages only. Rules change without notice, so use the official link, and be careful with look-alike and paid agent sites that copy official wording.

Countries covered and left out

The finder covers the countries below. We last read each page on 22 October 2026.

Rows that cite the Ministry of External Affairs table rest on its figures. The table says it is sourced from public information as on 2 February 2026 and that the Ministry is not responsible for its accuracy, so the row says so and you should check the embassy's page. Where a country's own page and the table differ, the row says which one it follows. We left out Fiji, Kenya, Laos, Oman, Mauritius, Jordan and Iran, because no official page we could read on 22 October 2026 stated the rule for Indian passports.

The 6-month passport rule

The Ministry of External Affairs guide says to make sure your passport is valid with at least six months of validity from your planned date of return to India. The finder counts six calendar months from the return date you enter and compares it with your expiry date. A country can ask for more, so the country's own page comes first.

Before you book

  • Open the official link on the row and read it again close to the day you book.
  • Check each traveller's passport dates, including the children's.
  • Fill in any pre-arrival form the row names, such as the MDAC for Malaysia.
  • Plan the money with the family trip budget calculator.

Questions

Which countries does the visa-free finder cover?

Twenty-one countries: Thailand, Malaysia, Bhutan, Nepal, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, Seychelles, the Philippines, Cambodia, Qatar, Macau, Kazakhstan, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Dominica, Rwanda and Senegal. We add a country only after we have read an official page for it: the country's own authority, or the Ministry of External Affairs table of visa facilities for Indian nationals. Fiji, Kenya, Laos, Oman, Mauritius, Jordan and Iran are not in it because we could not confirm their rules for Indian passports on an official page on 22 October 2026.

How many months of passport validity do I need?

The Ministry of External Affairs advises at least six months of validity from your planned date of return to India. The finder counts six calendar months from the return date you enter. A country can ask for more, so check its official page.

Does Thailand need a visa for Indian passport holders?

The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi describes a 30-day visa exemption scheme for Indian passport holders, for tourism, effective 15 September 2026. The page does not state child rules.

Does Malaysia need a visa for Indians in 2026?

The High Commission of Malaysia in New Delhi says Indian citizens have a 30-day visa exemption until 31 December 2026, and that the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is required. If your return date is after 31 December 2026, check what applies.

Do Indians need a visa for Bhutan?

Indian nationals apply for an entry permit, not a visa, and pay the Sustainable Development Fee of Nu 1,200 per person per night, or the equivalent in rupees. Children aged 6 up to 12 pay Nu or INR 600 per night, and children under 6 pay nothing. The official FAQ is linked on the Bhutan row.

Why are some rows greyed out?

A row older than 45 days since we last read its page is greyed out and marked verify on the official site. Rules change without notice, so the official link is always the final word.

Is this immigration advice?

No. It is a summary of official pages. The immigration officer at the border has the final say, and nothing here promises entry.

Can Ula check this for my family?

Ula, your AI travel companion, plans and books trips with your OK and remembers how you travel. It is in early access, and you can join the waitlist. The finder works without it.
