Dream Destinations for Diwali: 5 Visa-Free Paradises Await You!
The Diwali season is just around the corner and many Indian travelers are looking for the perfect destination to celebrate the festival of lights. In addition to the traditional celebrations in India, there are some enchanting destinations that offer visa-free entry. This year these include Malaysia and Thailand, which are particularly popular with Indian tourists.
As reported by Newsgram, Malaysia is a popular destination for those seeking a festive atmosphere abroad. Cities like Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru in particular are known for their extensive Diwali celebrations, which include lights, sweets and temple festivals. Malaysia also has one of the largest Indian communities in Southeast Asia, which makes the country particularly attractive.
Festive entry requirements
Indian travelers can stay for up to 30 days visa-free. Some important requirements are a valid passport, filling out an online form at least three days before arrival, a confirmed return or onward flight ticket, and proof of sufficient financial resources. Proof of hotel booking or invitation is also required.
Thailand, on the other hand, even offers a visa-free stay of up to 60 days for Indian tourists, as Visaverge informs. Entry is easy as long as you have the basic documents. The most popular travel destinations include Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Only daily expenses and, if applicable, flight transit fees should be taken into account.
Variety of travel options
In addition, there are also other interesting destinations that allow visa-free access. Bhutan allows Indian citizens to enter with a special entry permit and charges a sustainability fee. Mauritius also offers a visa-free stay of 60 days and celebrates Diwali throughout the country. Travelers can spend up to 14 days in the Philippines without a visa.
For all five recommended travel destinations, it is advisable to check the entry requirements in advance and ensure that the travel documents are complete. And for those thinking about visiting beautiful Thailand, the need for a digital entry card, which must be completed before arrival since May 2025, will be particularly important. This information is listed in detail on Faszination Southeast Asia.
Whether one chooses the lively streets of Malaysia, enjoys the beaches of Thailand or experiences the magical atmosphere of Bhutan, the destinations are diverse and look forward to Indian guests to celebrate Diwali together. After all: lights and festive joy connect people, no matter where they are!
