Singapore Tops 2025 Passport Rankings as Global Mobility Gaps Widen

The Henley Passport Index highlights Singapore's dominance, India's decline, and growing disparities in travel freedoms worldwide.

Singapore ranks first in the 2025 Henley Passport Index, granting visa-free access to 195 destinations, ahead of Japan and several European nations.
India's passport drops five places to 85th, offering visa-free access to just 57 destinations, sharing its rank with Equatorial Guinea and Niger.
The United States falls to 9th place, reflecting a decade-long decline attributed to isolationist policies and limited reciprocity in visa agreements.
Afghanistan remains at the bottom of the index with access to only 26 destinations, marking the largest mobility gap in the index's history.
China achieves significant progress, climbing to 60th place with visa-free access to 58 destinations, showcasing its growing global openness.
