Hey, fellow travel mates!
Welcome Back!!!!

What if I say, you can travel few more countries with your Indian passport which are worth visiting and not overpriced?
Yeah! You read right, again!!!!
I am sure you want to know which are these affordable countries, well there are in total 39 VISA-ON-ARRIVAL (VOA) countries to which you can fly anytime just with your Indian passport.
Wait, don't overthink. Before you fuss up your head with questions about VOA let me clear your thoughts on what exactly "VISA-on-Arrival" means.
VISA-ON-ARRIVAL term is as simple as you read it, you get your "VISA" once you "arrive" at the desired destination.
See!! No fuss there, as simple as our day-to-day problems.
There are few countries where the Visa officer will ask you for the below mentioned details or documents, make sure you carry or have them with you to avoid the hush and the delay:
a. Valid Indian Passport.
b. Return Flight Ticket.
c. Proof of Hotel Booking Confirmation.
d. Enough funds to support your stay in the country.
