Entry Requirements for Visa on Arrival Countries for Indians

When travelling to a country where you can avail yourself of a visa on arrival, it is important to carry all the required documents with you to ensure that there are no complications in your application. In some cases, if you do not have the necessary documents, you might not be allowed entry into the country and must return.

The visa on arrival requirements can differ from country to country. It is important to go through the official government websites to ensure you have all the right documents.

Below, we’ve listed some of the commonly necessary documents you will require to get your visa on arrival.

A valid passport for at least 6 months after your departure date.
Pre-filled application forms or arrival card, if applicable
Proof of a return or onward ticket.
Proof of sufficient funds to sustain your stay.
Proof of accommodation and an itinerary for the duration of your stay.
Recent passport-sized photographs.
Customs declaration forms in case you are carrying any valuable items, cash, etc., as per the destination country’s regulations.
Travel or medical insurance. You must also check out the list of countries where travel insurance is mandatory, so you have all the necessary documents.

Other important things to remember when availing visa on arrival for Indians are:

Always check with the embassy or consulate of the country you plan to visit or official websites online about the visa requirements.
You must go straight to the visa on arrival counter as soon as you land in your destination country to submit the necessary documents to the immigration officer.
Complete any forms or applications that are required.
Pay the visa fee in the specified currency. It's best to have cash on hand because credit or debit cards might not be accepted.
Keep in mind the stay duration of your destination country. Overstaying your visit can invite extra charges or penalties.

What are the Different Types of Visas You Can Avail of?

Visas are documents issued by a government granting permission to foreigners looking to visit the respective country.

Unlike passports that act as proof of your country of origin, visas are markers that state the period for which you will be allowed to remain in the foreign country.

There are various types of visas:

Type of Visa	What Does it Imply?
Visa-free	Visa-free travel allows you to visit a country without having to obtain a visa. This is applicable if the two countries agree, or if the destination country has unilaterally opened its borders.
Visa on Arrival	These are granted to a visitor at the port of entry. The entire process of issuing the visa is initiated and completed at the port of entry by government authorities.
e-Visa	E-Visas are official documents issued online by an immigration official that grant entry permission. They are alternatives to the regular paper-based visas.
