Pakistan's Passport Remains Weak, According to New Global Index
Imagine passports as keys to different countries.
Some keys open many doors (countries without needing a visa), and some open very few.
Pakistan's passport is like one of the keys that opens the fewest doors.
It lets you visit only a few places without getting a visa first.
It's ranked low compared to other countries, but it's a little better than it was last year.
The Henley Passport Index makes a list of how powerful each passport is, and Singapore's is at the very top, meaning it opens the most doors.
Pakistan's passport is among the least powerful globally.
It allows visa-free access to only 32 locations.
Pakistan is ranked 96th in the Henley Passport Index for 2025.
The ranking is slightly improved from 2024.
Singapore holds the top position in the index.
