India's Rise: Simplifying International Travel With Global Visa Facilitation

Whenever international travel is involved, the official document that a traveller has to possess is the passport. Along with the passport, there are some countries where a visa is compulsory to travel in that country. 

Over the years, the strength of the Indian pass port has become stronger exponentially and in some ways it has made international travel a lot easier. It is interesting to note the global agency that ranks passport and inter-alia the strength of visa is governed by Henley and Partners. 

The strength of the passport is directly proportional to numerous parameters of the origin country vis. a vis. the ease of entering another country without a visa or a visa on arrival.

India’s position is 85th in the index as of Jan 2024.  In spite of being the 5th largest economy and perhaps the fastest growing, what is pulling down the ratings, is the not too healthy per capita income.  

Arton Capital is another nodal agency that assesses passport index and endeavors to give real time information and passport updates as frequently as new visa waivers and changes are implemented.

Have you ever wondered why foreign countries insist on a visa?

Well, the answer to this lies in the fact globally; different countries have different levels of security and economic considerations.  

This could be largely ranging from undesirable elements entering a prosperous country permanently and illegally, (migration),  or threat to national security and that is the reason countries which are at loggerheads with one another do not grant visas easily to the nationality of the other country. 

A visa requirement also monitors any overstay issues. It is also used as a tool in immigration planning.

What happens when visa requirement is eased? 

The first economic benefit for the country relaxing its visa policy is, opening up easier trade norms. This indirectly boosts the economic growth of the visa granting country. It will also boost tourism, and thus more foreign exchange earnings to the visa free country.
