As an Indian passport holder with a valid UK tourist visa, you can visit several countries and territories visa-free, with a visa on arrival (VoA), or with an e-Visa. Your departure from London doesn’t change the visa requirements, which are based on your Indian passport and your valid UK visa.
Important: Visa regulations change frequently. This list is based on currently available information, but you must verify the exact entry requirements with the embassy or official immigration website of your destination country before booking any travel.
Common conditions often include:
* Your UK visa may need to be a multiple-entry visa.
* Your UK visa must be valid for the duration of your stay (some countries require 6+ months of validity).
* Some countries require that you have used your UK visa at least once to enter the UK.

> Airline Check-in: Airlines have the final say on boarding. Confirm with your airline that they will accept your documents for your destination, as they will be checking your visa eligibility at the departure gate in London.
> Visa Type: Ensure your UK visa is the correct type (e.g., multiple-entry, valid, and not an expired or different category visa).
