Passport Index

A passport index is a ranking of world passports based on the number of countries their holders can visit without requiring a prior visa, or with visa-on-arrival. The Henley Passport Index and the Arton Passport Index are among the most widely cited rankings. Japanese, Singaporean, and several European passports consistently rank at the top, granting visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 190 destinations. Passport strength is a primary driver of demand for citizenship by investment programmes, particularly among nationals of countries with weaker passports.
