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Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong.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.

Oceania
You likely will not feel completely at home at first, but the laid‑back island vibe is a pleasant contrast to the pace of India. Over time you may notice familiar sights like Hindu temples and Indian students abroad.
Indian community
A small community of Indian professionals and students lives mainly on Koror and a few islands of the Rock Islands.
Veg / Jain food
Vegetarian and Jain options are scarce, but a few Indian and Asian restaurants can accommodate plant‑based meals.
Indian food
Indian restaurants are rare; most places serve Indian‑inspired dishes and larger supermarkets stock basic spices.
Places of worship
A modest Hindu temple in Koror hosts occasional gatherings, and churches often welcome inter‑faith visitors.
Palau is generally safe for tourists, with low street crime but a sense of remoteness that requires vigilance.

“Palau is quite a safe country to visit. Walking in downtown Koror at night, even past midnight is quite safe. But as with any place in the world today, common sense prevails. Pedestrians should be careful, as sidewalks are limited even in downtown Koror.”
