Which Countries Can I Visit With US Visa On Indian Passport

Introduction

If you are an Indian passport holder and have been granted a US visa, you may be wondering which countries you can visit with this visa. The good news is that holding a valid US visa opens up travel opportunities to many countries around the world, making it easier for you to explore different regions and experience diverse cultures.

Having a US visa can sometimes eliminate the need for obtaining a separate visa for certain countries, or it may simplify the visa application process by allowing you to apply for an eVisa instead. However, it is important to note that the type of US visa you hold, as well as its validity and restrictions, can influence your travel privileges to other countries.

In this article, we will explore the countries that allow visa-free travel, countries that require an eVisa, and countries that still require a visa, even if you hold a valid US visa on your Indian passport. We will also discuss important considerations and restrictions that you should be aware of before planning your international travel.

It is important to stay updated with the latest visa regulations and requirements for each country you plan to visit. The information provided in this article is subject to change, and it is always advisable to consult the embassy or consulate of the specific country you intend to visit for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Now, let’s dive into the details of which countries you can visit with a US visa on your Indian passport.

US Visa Requirements for Indian Passport Holders

Before exploring the countries you can visit with a US visa on your Indian passport, let’s first understand the requirements for obtaining a US visa. As an Indian passport holder, you will need to go through the United States visa application process, which involves several steps and documentation.

The first step is to determine the type of US visa you need based on your purpose of travel. The most common types of visas for Indian passport holders are the B1/B2 tourist visa, which allows for leisure and business travel, and the F1 student visa for those pursuing higher education in the US. Each visa category has specific requirements and documentation.

To apply for a US visa, you will need to complete the DS-160 nonimmigrant visa application form, which can be filled online. You will also need to pay the visa application fee, and schedule an appointment at the US embassy or consulate in your country.

During the visa interview, you will be asked questions about your travel plans, background, and financial situation. It is important to provide honest and accurate information during the interview. You may also be required to submit additional documents such as your passport, proof of funds, proof of ties to your home country, and travel itinerary.

Once your visa application is approved, you will receive the US visa stamped in your passport, indicating the type of visa and its validity period. It is crucial to review the visa carefully to ensure that the information is correct and to understand any specific restrictions or conditions that may apply.

It is important to note that holding a US visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. Upon arrival, you will still need to comply with US immigration laws and go through the immigration inspection process at the port of entry. The immigration officer has the authority to deny entry if they deem it necessary.

Now that we have a better understanding of the US visa requirements for Indian passport holders, let’s explore the countries that you can visit with a valid US visa.

Countries that Allow Visa-Free Travel with a Valid US Visa

If you hold a valid US visa on your Indian passport, you may be eligible for visa-free travel to certain countries. This means that you can visit these countries without the need to obtain a separate visa, as long as your US visa is still valid. Here are some countries that allow visa-free travel for Indian passport holders with a valid US visa:

• Canada: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa can visit Canada for tourism or business purposes for up to six months without a separate Canadian visa.
• Mexico: With a valid US visa, Indian passport holders can visit Mexico for tourism, business, or transit purposes for up to 180 days.
• Costa Rica: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa can travel to Costa Rica for tourism, business, or transit purposes for up to 30 days.
• Colombia: With a valid US visa, Indian passport holders can visit Colombia for tourism, business, or transit purposes for up to 90 days.
• Philippines: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa can travel to the Philippines for tourism, business, or transit purposes for up to 7 days.

These are just a few examples of countries that allow visa-free travel for Indian passport holders with a valid US visa. However, it is important to note that the duration of stay and purpose of travel may vary for each country. It is advisable to check the specific requirements and regulations of each country before planning your trip.

Remember to carry your valid US visa along with your Indian passport when traveling to these visa-free countries. Immigration officials may ask for proof of your US visa during the immigration process.

Now that we have explored some countries that allow visa-free travel with a valid US visa, let’s move on to the countries that require an eVisa.

Countries that Require an eVisa with a Valid US Visa

While holding a valid US visa on your Indian passport may exempt you from obtaining a separate visa for certain countries, there are still other countries that require an electronic visa (eVisa) even if you have a valid US visa. An eVisa is an electronic form of a visa that can be obtained online, eliminating the need for a physical visa sticker or stamp in your passport.

Here are some countries that require an eVisa for Indian passport holders with a valid US visa:

• Australia: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa can apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) online to visit Australia for tourism or business purposes for up to 3 months.
• Turkey: With a valid US visa, Indian passport holders can apply for an eVisa online to travel to Turkey for tourism or business purposes for a maximum stay of 90 days.
• New Zealand: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa can apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) online for travel to New Zealand for tourism or business purposes for up to 3 months.
• Malaysia: With a valid US visa, Indian passport holders can apply for an eVisa online to visit Malaysia for tourism, business, or transit purposes for a maximum stay of 30 days.
• Singapore: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa can apply online for the Singapore Electronic Arrival Card (SG e-Visa) to visit Singapore for tourism or business purposes for a maximum stay of 30 days.

These are just a few examples of countries that require an eVisa for Indian passport holders with a valid US visa. The application process and requirements for obtaining an eVisa may vary for each country. It is important to check the specific guidelines and apply for the eVisa well in advance of your planned travel dates.

It is crucial to note that holding a valid US visa does not exempt you from meeting the eligibility criteria and requirements for an eVisa. Each country may have its own set of regulations and fees associated with the eVisa application process.

Now that we have explored countries that require an eVisa, let’s move on to the countries that still require a visa, even if you hold a valid US visa on your Indian passport.

Countries that Require a Visa with a Valid US Visa

Although having a valid US visa on your Indian passport provides you with travel privileges to many countries, there are still several countries that require a separate visa, even if you hold a valid US visa. It is important to be aware of these countries and their visa requirements before planning your international travel.

Here are some examples of countries that still require a visa for Indian passport holders, even if they have a valid US visa:

• China: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa need to obtain a separate visa to travel to China for tourism or business purposes. The visa application process typically involves submitting the required documents to the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country.
• Russia: With a valid US visa, Indian passport holders are still required to obtain a separate visa to travel to Russia. The visa application process includes providing the necessary documentation and scheduling an appointment at the Russian embassy or consulate.
• Brazil: Indian passport holders with a valid US visa need to obtain a separate visa to travel to Brazil. The visa application process involves submitting the required documents to the Brazilian embassy or consulate in your country.
• India: While Indian passport holders may hold a valid US visa, they still need to obtain an Indian visa to travel to their home country. The visa application process can be completed online through the Indian government’s official visa application website.
• United Arab Emirates (UAE): With a valid US visa, Indian passport holders still need to obtain a separate visa to travel to the UAE. The visa can be obtained by applying through the UAE embassy or consulate in your country or by utilizing the online visa application system.

These are just a few examples of countries that require a separate visa, even if you hold a valid US visa on your Indian passport. The visa application processes for each country may vary, and it is important to check the specific requirements and guidelines provided by the respective embassies or consulates.

It is also important to consider the visa processing times and fees associated with obtaining a separate visa. Plan your travel accordingly to allow enough time for visa processing before your intended departure date.

Now that we have explored countries that require a visa, even with a valid US visa, it is important to consider some important considerations and restrictions related to your international travel.

Important Considerations and Restrictions

While holding a valid US visa on your Indian passport can open up travel opportunities to many countries, there are still important considerations and restrictions to keep in mind before embarking on your international travel.

1. Visa Validity: Check the validity of your US visa to ensure that it covers the duration of your planned stay in the destination country. Some countries require that your US visa be valid for a certain period beyond your intended visit.

2. Purpose of Travel: Understand the specific purpose of your visit and ensure that your US visa allows for that purpose. Some countries have different visa categories for tourism, business, study, or work, and your US visa should align with your intended activities.

3. Duration of Stay: Be aware of the permitted duration of stay in each country. Some countries may have specific limits on the length of time you can stay, even with a valid US visa.

4. Multiple Entry: Determine if your US visa allows for multiple entries. Some countries may require a multiple-entry visa to re-enter after leaving their borders, even if you have a valid US visa.

5. Immigration Requirements: Understand that possessing a valid US visa does not guarantee entry into any country. Upon arrival, you may still need to meet the immigration requirements of the destination country, such as providing proof of accommodation, proof of funds, and a return ticket.

6. Visa-Free Agreements: Keep in mind that visa-free travel arrangements can change at any time. Always check the latest information and updates on visa agreements between countries before planning your trip.

7. Transit Visa Requirements: If you have a layover in a country while traveling to your final destination, check if you need a transit visa. Some countries require a transit visa even if you are only passing through, while others may exempt certain nationalities based on specific conditions.

8. COVID-19 Travel Restrictions: It is crucial to stay updated on any travel restrictions or requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many countries have implemented new regulations, such as mandatory quarantine or negative COVID-19 test results, which may affect your travel plans.

Ensure to thoroughly research the visa requirements and regulations of each country you plan to visit, as they can vary widely. The embassy or consulate of the specific country is the best source for accurate and up-to-date information.

Now that we have discussed important considerations and restrictions, let’s wrap up this article.

Holding a valid US visa on your Indian passport expands your travel possibilities and provides you with the opportunity to explore different countries around the world. However, it is important to understand that the privileges and requirements associated with your US visa may vary from country to country.

In this article, we have explored the countries that allow visa-free travel, countries that require an eVisa, and countries that still require a separate visa, even if you have a valid US visa on your Indian passport. From countries like Canada and Mexico that offer visa-free travel to destinations like Australia and Turkey that require an eVisa, each country has its own set of rules and regulations.

It is crucial to remember that visa regulations and requirements can change at any time. Therefore, it is recommended to check with the embassy or consulate of the specific country you plan to visit for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding visa requirements and restrictions.

Additionally, it is important to consider other factors such as visa validity, purpose of travel, duration of stay, and immigration requirements when planning your international travel. Being well-informed and prepared will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

Always remember to comply with the immigration laws and regulations of the countries you visit, and to abide by any COVID-19 related travel restrictions and guidelines in place.

Indians With A Valid UK Visa Can Visit These 25 Countries Visa Free

If you have a uk visa on your indian passport, then take advantage of it and travel to countries like montenegro and mexico visa-free..

By: PRIYAJA BAKSHI Published: Jun 06, 2023 05:00 PM UTC

If you are someone who doesn’t like to go through the lengthy visa-filing process, this one is for you as we list the countries that become visa-free if you have a valid UK visa.

Procuring visas for some nations like the UK and the US might be a long process for Indians but it also opens doors to many other countries. Having a US visa allows an Indian passport holder visa-free access to over 25 destinations in addition to the 60 countries that they can travel to, according to the Henley Passport Index , without going through the entire process. The same is the case when it comes to a UK visa.

Along with England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, countries like Singapore, Bahamas, Peru, and Mexico also become easily accessible for an Indian passport holder with a valid UK visa. Additionally, the standard visitor short-term multi-entry visa issued by the UK remains valid for up to six months, and the long-term visitor visa can be valid for two, five or ten years.
