Consolidate your Indian passport to travel visa free to 48 countries. use this simple hack

With a valid Indian passport, you can travel visa-free to 24 countries, but by using a simple hack you can expand it to 48 countries. The trick is adding a US tourist or work visa to your passport.

This is known as “visa-free transit” or “transit visa.” Some of the countries that can be visited with ease using this method include Malaysia, Argentina, Peru, Singapore, Albania, Cuba, Bahamas, and Egypt, according to travel coach Aakanksha Monga.

And in case you do not have a US visa, just apply with an E-visa to travel to these destinations.

It’s important to note that visa regulations can change, so it’s best to check with the embassy or consulate of the country you plan to visit before making any travel arrangements. Additionally, even if a visa is not required, travelers must still comply with the entry requirements of the country, such as having a valid passport, proof of onward travel, and sufficient funds for the duration of their stay.
