Pro Tips for Visa-Free Travel
1. Always carry return/onward tickets — Immigration may deny entry without proof of leaving.
2. Hotel bookings help — Even a refundable booking shows you have a plan.
3. Proof of funds — Thailand may ask for 20,000 THB (~₹47,000). Maldives wants proof of $100/day. Most countries rarely check but keep credit cards handy.
4. Passport validity — Most countries need 6+ months validity. Renew early.
5. Travel insurance — Not required by most countries but strongly recommended. Get it for $1-2/day.
6. Blank pages — Some countries need 1-2 blank visa pages in your passport.
7. Build travel history — Start with easy countries (Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka) before applying for US/Schengen visas. Each stamp builds credibility.
8. Use VisaHacks.in — Check exactly which countries you can visit based on your specific passport and visa situation.
