Although India stands at the 5th position in the list of largest economies, the country still ranks poorly when it comes to the strongest passports. Indian citizens can visit only 59 countries without a prior visa and contributes only about 6.7% of the world GDP.

They can travel to countries like Iran, Sri Lanka, Macao, Indonesia, Thailand, Mauritius, Qatar, Zimbabwe, Bhutan, and Kenya. India lost its free visa to Serbia because of the increased migration rate.
