Talk:Visa requirements for Indian citizens

too big

I wish we could change this to something like China article. Those countries requiring VISA doesnt have to be stated and this is making the article too big.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Chinese_citizens (srikrishnak (talk) 12:53, 3 December 2013 (UTC))

Burundi

I called the Burundi Embassy in India on 15 June, 2011. Apparently, visa on arrival facility for Indian has been revoked. A prior visa need to be obtained that takes 1 working day. You can reach the embassy at +91-11-46151947. 110.74.220.69 (talk) 04:05, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Brunei

Indian citizens can get 72 hour transit visa on arrival if you have a ticket and itinerary for validation. You need to get a sponsorship from the airline you are flying. The visa charge is 5 Brunei Dollars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red Cloudd (talk • contribs) 09:19, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Jordan

Jordan visa is for one week only: We were in Jordan recently(10th October till 20th October'2013) and the whole visa-on-arrival process was confusing. Initially one immigration officer told us that there is no visa-on-arrival for Indians, then another one asked us whether we have any residency proof in USA/UK or gulf. We said no, we are residents of India. We were moved from one counter to other couple of times and then the immigration officer called his manager and the manager came and told us smilingly "Welcome to Jordan and enjoy your stay!". But they stamped our passport for one week whereas we wanted it for 10 days. We told them that the Jordan Embassy had told us that we would get visa-on-arrival for 2 weeks. They wouldn't relent, so we met the manager again. The manager told us not to worry, just go to any police station and extend your visa, it is an easy affair. And if we failed to do that, we would pay a penalty of 1.5 JOD per day per person for the overstay when we return. We were ready with 1000 USD cash per person to show if asked but were never asked for it. Later on when we realized that most of the police in Jordan don't know English, we chose to pay the fine at the immigration office in the airport on return, it was pretty easy. In stead of getting on to the immigration line, go to the counters on the right side of the immigration counters which says "Residency fines or Residency penalty" and pay the fine and then go to the immigration counter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.19.80.2 (talk) 08:29, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Malaysia, UAE

I have found Malaysia and UAE no longer issuing visa on arrival to nationals of India but I doubt if anybody else also. --Saki ^talk 18:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

If thats the case, then the map also needs to adjusted accordingly. Someone introduced a dodgey version of an earlier map. Are you sure that the UAE no longer offers arrival visas to Indians (those in possession of a GCC residence permit) ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.39.81.19 (talk) 06:12, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

No, visa will be issued on arrival in the UAE to residents of the GCC Member States. --Saqib Qayyum (talk) 14:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Visa on arrival in most GCC member states depends on the "Occupation" that your residence permit says. They discriminate based on occupation so you have to be an engineer or manager to get visa on arrival. If you have "Clerk" or "Administrative Assistant" on your residence permit you will not get visa on arrival in any GCC states regardless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.200.129.162 (talk) 06:14, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

table cell colour

Some of the table cells have been coloured in pink or green. A legend for the colour code would be helpful. Vedabit (talk) 03:14, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Qatar

Indians get visa on arrival in QATAR by holding 6 moth valid GCC residence visa can extent another 3 months — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.211.137.17 (talk) 11:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Egypt

Egypt is only considering to offer visa on arrival to Indians with UK/US visa. It is not offered currently. Looks misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.205.176.200 (talk) 16:03, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Regions

Is it best to separate each continent by region, for example schengen, or EU for Europe. Then for Asia, we have ASEAN and GCC.

Other passport pages have a similar layout to that mentioned above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.127.252.4 (talk) 09:26, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

It wastes the energy on fights if Turkey is in Europe or Asia, if Cyprus is in Europe or Asia etc. so this is a better option.--Twofortnights (talk) 18:03, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Visa requirements by Henley and partners is flawed

I have found out that the Henley and partners visa restriction index is apparently wrong with most of the NON AMERICAN and NON EUROPEAN countries. For example they have stated that Filipino citizens can enter only 58 countries whereas Filipino citizens can enter almost 60 countries and territories same goes to Indian citizens.I am an Indian citizen and i do a lot of research about the visa requirements for me as i travel a lot. Indian citizens can enter 58-59 countries with visa free or visa on arrial policy but in the Henley and partners visa restriction index they have shown just 52 without even giving the list of those 52 countries.I cant trust henely and partners until they provide evidence as the name of those countries they list as numbers to prove their claim. According to me the Henley visa restriction index is flawed and cant be trusted.

the best way to analyse a country's Visa restrictions,the passport holder of that country who is a frequent traveler could be the best source to know about the Visa restrictions.Visa policies change frequently and its important to update that information. My sources for updating the passport visa requirements for different countries are the FOREIGN MISSIONS of other countries and that's why I trust it completely because no one could know the visa policy than the foreign missions.

so please dont just base ur research on the so called VISA RESTRICTION INDEX by any institution which doesnt even provide with the relevant evidences for its claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anks7866 (talk • contribs) 12:56, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

User:Anks7866, That is all great but your personal experience and research is unfortunately not valid on Wikipedia. You must read the Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth to find out why.--Twofortnights (talk) 13:06, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

If those foreign missions say something like "Indian citizens can travel to xx countries without a visa or by obtaining a visa on arrival" then yes you can use it. Otherwise, no you can't. I understand what you are saying but it's the Wikipedia rules. As for Henley they explain their methodology in the report.--Twofortnights (talk) 13:09, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Is it ripe to edit the norway section after Indian President's annoucement to give visa on arrival to norweigian citizens? http://www.firstpost.com/india/visa-on-arrival-for-norway-nationals-soon-says-president-pranab-mukherjee-1756383.html
