Tripoto

The internet is buzzing with the apparent new discovered privileges of holding an Indian passport. The country has improved its position from 75 last year to 66 this year in the ranking which is based on the passports’ visa-free score. Opportunities to travel to Visa free countries for Indians have also opened up. 

These 9 new rules will make your foreign travel easier than before

- Dependents of less than 18 years of age can now get visa free travel between 15 July to 15 September every year.

- Myanmar and Uzbekistan opened e-visa facility.

- Now you don't need transit visa if you are transiting through international zone of any French airport.

The list is of countries which are part of the United Nations AND territories which are either conflicted or exist in isolation from major governance.

The viral list states that, "The country list is based on the 193 members of United Nations and other six territories which belong to other countries." Few countries don't even have the visa-free/visa-on-arrival policy for Indians.

I hate to burst the bubble but many of those countries actually provide visa on arrival. So basically, the websites have been click-baiting you with their false (not TOO false) titles.

And few of the territories that you can go to, and are on the 'viral' list include Palestine and Somaliland. Perfect tourist destinations right?
