As an Indian passport holder, it's exciting to know that our passport ranking has significantly improved. We now stand at 80th in the latest Henley Passport Index. This is particularly promising news for Indian students, as the improved ranking has opened up travel to 57 destinations where Indians can experience visa-free travel or enjoy visas on arrival arrangements.
While the increase in mobility is a great accomplishment, it's essential to note that the Indian passport still has some way to go. With the need for a visa to enter 177 destinations, including key global players like China, Japan, Russia, the United States, and the entire European Union, the world of international travel remains somewhat restricted for Indian passport holders.
