Visa not required for this passport typeVisa requiredLast sourced from the MEA register on 12 July 2026
Source: Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, Bilateral Visa Waiver Agreements register, verified against the signed agreement documents. A few agreements are asymmetric or carry conditions (for example, personnel posted to a mission), so this is a reference, not legal advice. Indian, Nepalese and Bhutanese nationals do not need a visa to enter India.
