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 for visa-free travel.
Singapore retains its crown as the world's most powerful passport, granting access to 193 destinations, while the US and UK have both dropped to their lowest rankings ever, with the US now at 10th place. India made the largest jump this year, climbing from 85th to 77th place and gaining visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 59 countries. The rankings highlight growing mobility gaps, with some countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka still near the bottom despite minor improvements.
The index underscores how passport strength reflects a nation's diplomatic influence and global relationships.
