✈️ Which date is auspicious for going abroad?
विदेश यात्रा का शुभ मुहूर्त • computed from live planetary positions
For videsh yatra, favour Punarvasu (the star of safe return), Shravana (long journeys), Revati (smooth passage) and Pushya, on a Thursday, Friday or Monday. Avoid your Chandrashtama for the flight date, and file visa applications on Mercury's Wednesday or Jupiter's Thursday.

How this muhurta is determined
Long journeys amplify the ordinary travel rules. Punarvasu — "the return of the light" — is the classical star for journeys meant to end in a safe homecoming; Shravana rules distant travel itself; Revati, the zodiac's last nakshatra, carries the traveller gently across boundaries. The 12th house rules foreign lands, so a Moon transiting YOUR 12th is actually acceptable for departure — but never the 8th.
Paperwork has its own timing: visa and passport applications go best under Mercury (Wednesday) for clean documentation or Jupiter (Thursday) for favour from officials — outside Rahu Kaal, on a Sampat or Mitra tara day if your nakshatra is known.
For one-way relocations abroad, treat it as city-relocation: journey by these rules, first entry abroad by entry rules — and the disha shoola of the departure weekday still applies to the flight's initial direction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a muhurta for visa application too?
Yes — it is a petition plus a document, so Wednesday (Mercury) and Thursday (Jupiter) lead, on a favourable tithi outside Rahu Kaal. Avoid filing on your Chandrashtama, when errors slip in.
Which nakshatra is best for a flight abroad?
Punarvasu is the classic choice — it specifically signifies safe return. Shravana and Revati are equally strong for the journey itself. Any of the three on a good tithi makes a strong departure date.
