Asian countries, particularly Japan and South Korea, continue to dominate the top spots, while European nations also feature prominently. Notably, India made its largest-ever jump, climbing eight spots to 77th place, now offering its citizens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 59 countries. In contrast, the US and UK have slipped further down the rankings, reflecting tightening immigration policies and reduced global mobility.
