Visa on Arrival | Visa-free Travel |
---|---|
Visa on arrival implies that you can obtain a visa when you arrive at your destination's airport or border checkpoint. | Visa-free travel for Indians means that Indian passport holders can enter a country without a visa for a specified duration. |
You must fill out an application, provide necessary documents, and often pay a visa fee. Your stay is typically limited and varies by country, ranging from a few days to a few months. Overstaying a visa on arrival can result in fines or other penalties. | No prior application, fee payment, or paperwork is required. The allowed stay duration often varies by country and is usually determined by bilateral agreements. Again, overstaying may result in fines or deportation. |
You must have a valid passport and meet entry requirements. | A valid passport is still necessary, along with other entry requirements such as proof of funds and return flight tickets. |
