The latest Henley Passport Index reveals a major shift in global passport power, with Asian countries like Singapore, Japan, and South Korea dominating the top spots, offering their citizens visa-free access to nearly 193 destinations.
The US and UK passports have both slipped to their lowest rankings ever, with the US now at 10th place. India made the largest leap this year, climbing from 85th to 77th, granting its citizens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 59 countries. The rankings highlight growing mobility gaps, with some countries rapidly improving their global access while others, like Pakistan, remain among the weakest.
The changes reflect shifting diplomatic relations and the increasing importance of global mobility for individuals and economies.
