For many Indians, securing a US visa is a long and stressful process. But once approved, that single document can open travel access to several destinations across the globe. According to a report by Condé Nast Traveller, Indian passport holders with a valid US visa can visit 42 countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, Africa, the Caribbean, and British Overseas Territories without needing a separate visa.
In 2024, 2.2 million Indians travelled to the United States, a nearly 50% jump from pre-pandemic numbers. India is now the second-largest overseas tourist market for the US, after the UK. For Indian travellers, the US visa is more than a gateway to America, it is also a travel shortcut to explore other regions.
