Which countries are open for travel for Indian passport holders?

 

[Note: The data is as of April 2022 for Indian passport holders flying from India]

India was among one of the most badly hit countries by the pandemic.  The travel industry was almost completely non-functional due to the COVID-19 waves in the country. After many casualties and numerous efforts to fight COVID-19, the country has opened its international borders for travelers just like other countries worldwide.

However, to get a smooth entry through international borders, the process isn’t the same as it used to be before 2020. Now, you have to either be vaccinated or have a negative RT-PCR test or be quarantined upon arrival or even all of the mentioned. In case you think of skipping any step of health requirement, you cannot be allowed to board your flight, and that I tell you will be one of the most painful and frustrating experiences of your life.

To avoid any kind of issues related to these requirements, refer to the lists mentioned below of countries according to your vaccination status.
