The prestigious Henley Passport Index ranks the power of each country's passport based on the number of countries/territories that the passport holder can enter without a visa.
Owning a United Arab Emirates (UAE) passport in 2024 means you have the key to unlock the doors to over 133 countries worldwide without a visa, along with the opportunity to obtain a visa on arrival in 47 other countries. This most powerful "travel pass" in the world in 2024 clearly demonstrates the country's strong development and also offers UAE citizens privileges many people dream of, such as freedom of movement, cultural exploration, and enjoying life anywhere in the world.
Citizens of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) hold the most powerful passport globally, allowing them easy travel to 180 countries and territories worldwide.
Europe continues to assert its position as the continent with the most powerful passports in the world in 2024, with 19 out of the top 20 countries. Competition among European nations is fierce, leading to notable changes in the rankings. Spain has overtaken Germany to claim second place, while Finland has made a leap to third, surpassing both France and Belgium.
The most powerful "passport" in the world in 2024.
2024 saw a significant shift in the ranking of the world's most powerful passports, particularly for the two traditional powers, the UK and the US. The UK dropped 10 places to 32nd, while the US fell even further to 38th. This decline may be related to internal political instability and restrictive immigration policies in both countries. As a consequence, British and American citizens will face greater difficulties in obtaining visas and traveling freely to other countries, impacting not only travel experiences but also causing inconvenience in work and study.
Meanwhile, China's passport ranks 110th in terms of power index, according to the Daily Mail. South Korea's passport is the strongest in Asia, although it dropped from 17th to 21st place compared to last year's ranking. Japan (25th) and Singapore (30th) are the next most powerful Asian passports.
