S'pore tops ranking of world's most powerful passports again
The Straits Times
|January 11, 2024
The Republic has clinched the top spot in a world ranking of passports again, with Singaporeans enjoying visa-free entry to 195 out of 227 travel destinations, according to the 2025 Henley Passport Index.
The index released two sets of rankings in 2024. In January 2024, Singapore shared the top spot with five other countries, but in July, it reclaimed the sole position as the world's most powerful passport.
In the latest index released on Jan 8, Japan is ranked a close second, with its citizens having visa-free access to 193 destinations.
