Visa on arrival for Indian passport holders
For ordinary Indian passports, tourism travel only.
A visa on arrival is issued at the border rather than before you travel. You do not apply from India, but you are not simply waved through either — there is a counter, usually a fee, and occasionally a queue long enough to matter when you have a connecting flight.
The practical difference from visa-free is money and paperwork at the airport, so the fee is worth knowing before you go. Where a country charges, we record the amount in the currency the authority actually charges it in — that is the figure you will pay at the counter, and the only one we quote.
One warning that applies to this whole category: a visa on arrival is granted at the officer’s discretion. Meeting the published conditions is what makes it routine, not automatic.
We have verified 25 countries so far, of which 4 are on this page. More are being added as each one is checked against its government’s own sources — this is not yet a complete list of every country in the world.

What this means in practice
You obtain the visa at the border on arrival, not in advance. Expect to show a return ticket and an address, and to pay the fee in cash or by card at the counter.
