For HongKong you need a visa from Jan 23, but travel visa free to these countries

Date:

Hong Kong has decided to withdraw the visa-free facility for Indians from January 23 onward, Indian travellers will need to complete a pre-arrival registration process before they can enter the city.

“The pre-arrival registration for Indian nationals will be implemented on January 23, 2017. The online service for it is now opened,” said the Hong Kong immigration department, adding that registration is not required in case of direct transit by air and if the traveller is not leaving the airport transit area.

According to the report, the pre-arrival registration is valid for six months during which the applicant can visit Hong Kong any number of times. The only Indians exempted from pre-arrival registration are those with diplomatic passports or a Hong Kong Travel Pass, and those who have successfully enrolled for the e-Channel service. Before this, Indians could visit the special administrative region of China for up to 14 days with just a valid passport.

However, there are many countries worth travelling needs no visa or they provide visa on arrival. Some of the famous are:

Alongside,  there are more to add up to the list of countries which does nit need Visa. But, there is speculation that the decision was taken as the number of Indian asylum seekers was on the rise.

However, Indian officials believe that Hong Kong is using the asylum seekers as a pretext to deny visa-free entry to Indians. There are also concerns that the move has been triggered by China.

The new rules will affect hundreds of thousands of Indians who visit the former British colony every year for both tourism and trade.
