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 now offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 59 countries. The rankings highlight growing mobility for Asian nations and a widening gap for countries like the US, UK, and Australia, whose passport power is declining.
The index underscores shifting geopolitical influence and the increasing importance of strategic diplomacy in global mobility.
