Which Visa Unlocks the Most Countries for Indians?

In the current VisaHacks calculator, a Schengen visa adds 52 newly accessible destinations relative to the Indian-passport baseline. That includes the 29-country Schengen Area plus qualifying routes elsewhere. Countries outside Schengen apply their own validity, multiple-entry, and prior-use conditions, so use the verified unlock page rather than assuming blanket access. The current general adult application fee is €90.

In the current calculator, a US visa makes 23 new destinations accessible in total, including the United States itself. The verified third-country guide separately lists 25 destination rules because some improve the entry route or stay for countries already in the baseline. A B1/B2 visa is commonly issued with long validity, but every third country applies its own visa type, validity, multiple-entry, and prior-use conditions.

A Canadian visitor visa adds 15 newly accessible destinations in the current calculator, including Canada itself. The verified supporting-visa guide lists 15 third-country rules, but some apply to destinations that are already accessible through another baseline route. Check each rule's remaining-validity and prior-use conditions.

A UK visitor visa adds 14 newly accessible destinations in the current calculator, including the UK itself. Ireland and some third-country exemptions have strict prior-use, entry-route, validity, or multiple-entry conditions, so the headline number is not a blanket waiver.

Choose visas for trips you genuinely plan to take, not for a headline count alone. In the current calculator, US + Schengen adds 56 new destinations over baseline and produces 152 accessible foreign destinations in total. The overlap means combined access is not the sum of the individual counts.
