It depends. Most countries require a visa for long-term stays, and visa-free or visa-on-arrival options for Indian passport holders are usually limited to short tourist visits (30 - 90 days).

To settle abroad for a few years with minimal visa complications, you typically need a long-term visa or residence permit, which often requires:
- Admission to a study program
- Securing a job offer
- Meeting other country-specific requirements

Some countries offer post-study work permits (PSW) that allow graduates to stay and work after completing their studies, but these policies are subject to change.
