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Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong.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
Gabon offers a surprisingly familiar tropical coastal vibe with French colonial architecture and a growing urban middle class that reminds many Indian visitors of Indian metros during festival seasons. The warmth of Central African hospitality and the prevalence of French make it easier for Indian travellers to navigate daily interactions.
Indian community
There is a small but established Indian community concentrated in Libreville and Franceville, with families who have been there for decades.
Veg / Jain food
Vegetarian options are limited to basic salads and fries in most restaurants, but Indian grocery imports are available in upmarket supermarkets in Libreville.
Indian food
Indian restaurants are rare, but you can find basic Indian spices and some ready-to-eat curries at the Carrefour Market and other imported goods stores.
Places of worship
A small Hindu temple and a Sikh gurdwara exist in Libreville, serving the modest Indian community, while mosques and churches are more widespread.
Libreville is generally safe for visitors during daylight hours in well-trafficked areas, but like many African capitals, caution is advised after dark.

Solo / women
“Gabon is a somewhat safe country compared to its neighbors, but don't let that fool you as pickpockets and other types of crimes targeting tourists are still common and you should practice common sense. Libreville and Port-Gentil are generally safer than the other areas of Gabon.”
