What Raahi used, when it was last refreshed, and what it cannot promise
Source data supports Raahi’s recommendations; it does not replace the destination’s immigration authority, airline or live booking provider.
Raahi presents visa and entry information for the Indian passport compiled from public datasets. This is general information for planning, not legal or immigration advice.
Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Requirements also depend on your specific situation — purpose of travel, length of stay, past travel history, and connecting/transit countries.
Before you book or travel, always confirmwith the destination country's official embassy, consulate, or immigration website, and with your airline. Raahi holds no responsibility for travel decisions made using this information.
Carrier names are a guide; check current tourist plans and coverage before you buy.
Visa/Mastercard are widely accepted, but your normal card adds ~3.5% forex markup plus ATM fees — a forex card avoids both. See Pay like home above for UPI/RuPay where it works.
Under RBI’s LRS you can carry forex within limits; large forex loads attract TCS — check current rules & rates before you buy.

Africa
Equatorial Guinea will feel quite foreign to most Indian travellers, with Spanish being the main language and a tropical climate unlike most of India. However, the presence of a small Indian expatriate circle and familiar hotel chains can give a modest sense of comfort.
Indian community
A modest Indian community lives mainly in Malabo and Bata, centered around business and diplomatic circles.
Veg / Jain food
Vegetarian meals are available in most hotels and some local restaurants, but Jain‑strict options are limited.
Indian food
Indian restaurants are scarce; travellers usually rely on hotel kitchens or buy Indian spices at the few specialty shops in Malabo.
Places of worship
There are a couple of small Hindu temples in Malabo used by the expatriate community, and several Catholic churches for those seeking familiar worship spaces.
The capital and main tourist areas are generally safe during daylight, but petty crime can occur after dark.
