Visa requirements for Indian citizens
Encyclopedia
Visa requirements for Indian citizens are as follows:

According to visa and passport information from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), some 58 countries and territories provide visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to holders of Republic of India passports (details in table under). Indians have access to 50 countries without a visa.

Indian citizens are granted to visa-upon-arrival in 33 countries and territories, while a further 28 countries and territories are accessible visa-free.

Where visa-free access is permitted, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission may technically be at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Visitors engaging in activities other than tourism, including unpaid work, may require a visa or work permit.

The country of residence is a factor in determining the visa requirements for Indian passport holders when visiting some countries. For example, an Indian residing in Canada, Europe, the UK or the USA holding a residence permit valid for at least 6 months does not need a visa to travel to Costa Rica for tourism purposes. Indian citizens resident in Japan (with valid Alien Registration Cards) can travel to the Republic of Korea (South Korea) for tourism and short business trips.

Indian citizens do not need a visa to travel and work in Nepal and there is no restriction on the number of days they live/work in Nepal and vice versa for Nepalese citizens as well.
