Singapore retains its crown, offering visa-free access to 193 destinations, while the US passport has dropped to its lowest-ever ranking at 10th place, reflecting a decade-long decline. India has made its biggest leap in years, climbing to 77th place and now granting its citizens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 59 countries. Meanwhile, European and Middle Eastern countries like Greece and the UAE also improved their standings, while passports from countries like Pakistan remain among the weakest.
