A lot of destinations are now opening up for travellers from India following the drop in COVID-19 cases. And while many countries are accepting visa applications for students, many other countries are now open to all category of travellers. Here is a list of countries accepting visa applications from India.
1. Mauritius
As Mauritius opens its doors for travellers on July 15, Indians can opt for visas upon arrival option. To apply for a visa, you would need a confirmed return ticket, proof of hotel booking. You can also apply for a long-stay premium visa that will allow you to stay in Mauritius for up to a year.

2. Saudi Arabia
Indians holding a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa travelling by the Saudi national carrier for tourism will avail visa-on-arrival in Saudi Arabia. However, such travellers should have visited the visa-issuing country before landing at any Saudi airport. Only those above 18 years old or above can apply for a visa. For those below 18 should have a guardian when applying for the visa.
3. USA
A lot of students from India have been waiting to travel to the US. The US embassy is, therefore, gearing up to hold more visa interviews than it did before the pandemic said a top official at the US Embassy in India. As the total number of cases drop in India after the second wave, the US government is looking to re-start the immigration process.
Passports are today more easily available and more easily renewed. Indians can participate in the global workplace more effectively.
Strengthening this important citizen-centric service will always be a major priority of MEA and its partners.#EaseOfLiving
