Reciprocity[edit]
Indian Government has not drafted any laws to mandate reciprocity in visa agreements with other countries. While a very small number bilateral agreements have ended in reciprocity in visa arrangements, a large number of visa relationships continue to be highly skewed on one side or the other.
In 2015, Iran revoked visa-on-arrival for Indian citizens after it was included as one of the eight countries in India's Prior Reference Category, which would be excluded from India's visa liberalisation plans for foreign tourists.[346]The other countries on the list at the time were Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria and Sudan.[346]
Full reciprocity[edit]
India has by default achieved full reciprocity in Visa free/e-Visa Privileges with following countries:
