A big thumbs up. Very useful. As an Indian citizen, I have traveled close to 50 countries (not including business trips) and Indian citizens, apart from a handful of countries, need visa for most of the world. This site comes in handy.

If possible, consider adding which countries have exemptions for holders of Permanent Residency (Greencard), or an Australian PR and such.

So excruciatingly painful to travel on the Indian passport. I was rejected from visiting my fiancee in France even though I had a UK, Swiss (was not schengen in 2007) and H1b visa on my passport.

Also visa requirements are by the passport you are holding not usually the PR so requirements don't change that much.

Depends, for example if you have a valid Canadian/American visa and Indian passport, you don't need a visa to travel to Mexico.

A lot of countries grant visa free access to holders of e.g: us visit visa or schengen residency, they call it a substitute visa

I had no idea about this. Thanks! For anyone, curious here are the countries you can travel with a US visa.

Yes, there are some visas which are useful. Will add it soon.

I think countries on the border will allow travel, so if you have an Australian PR you might visit New Zealand, a US GC for Mexico or a China residence visa for Honk Kong.

(I am not saying those visas are currently accepted, I am saying they might be)

I'm glad its useful. Definetly part of my plan. US, UK, Canada, Schegen and Australia Visas have exemptions.
