I do not know about Pakistan, but Indian passport holders can travel without visa or without a pre visa and get one on arrival to about 55 - 60 countries in the world. Notable among which are Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, Mauritius, Seychelles, Kenya, Cambodia, Iran, Jordan, Macau, Myanmar, Tajikistan, Armenia, Montenegro, Fiji and a number of island countries in the South Pacific, Bolivia and Ecuador in South America, a number of countries in the Caribbean and in Central America such as Guatemala & Nicaragua and a number of countries in Africa such as Ethiopia, Comoros Madagascar etc.

In addition to this India passport holders can travel without a visas to Turkey, Taiwan, South Korea, Costa Rica, Singapore etc. if they have valid US or UK or Schengen or Australia / New Zealand visas.

That is great! I never thought Id say it but I envy the Indian passport! lolIt would be great if someone knows if Pakistani nationals can go anywhere without visa. Or if they have a valid UK visa: eg student visa?

Re: countries not requiring a visa

If you have visa for a country, that doesn’t automatically allow you to visit other countries on that visa. Eg, student visa for England, go anywhere in England, but can’t go visit France. You will need a visitor visa for France and other EU countries.

List of countries that grant you visa on arrival:

Re: countries not requiring a visa

India has a pretty large outbound tourism industry, in fact a couple of Travel companies sell International tour packages for couples and families out of a box literally, i.e you pick up the box from a supermarket shelf, pay for it at the check out cashier, activate the code and fly out to the chosen destination a couple of hours later. (http://www.sotcboxholidays.com/ots/index.asp). Destinations that have no visa requirements such as Thailand, Hong Kong & Macau are obviously popular.

Re: countries not requiring a visa

I remember with a UK student visa on my Pakistani passport, we were allowed to go to Switzerland visa-free. Don't know if that is still valid.

Re: countries not requiring a visa

Earlier when Switzerland was not part of the Schengen a UK Residence visa of any type other than tourist / visit allowed the holder to travel without a visa to Switzerland, however now that Switzerland is part of the Schengen, you need a Schengen visa to travel there, even if you hold a UK Student / Work visa.

Re: countries not requiring a visa

Insaf, take a look at this (Passport Index | Henley & Partners) Its a chart that will give you the number of countries a citizen of a certain country can visit without a visa. You will see UK passport holders are top by being able to travel to about 166 countries without a visa.

In my opinion it is not completely accurate as it does not take into account the fact that you can travel to some countries without a visa, should you happen to have a valid visa for a third country, such as Indian citizens who hold a US visa can travel to a number of countries such as Turkey, Taiwan etc without a visa.

Something like always having a valid US visa works best (even if you are not traveling to he US), as it is quite easy to procure (at least for Indian passport holders, who get it in 2 days days and the visa remains valid for 10 years)
