SRI LANKAN PASSPORT DIPS FURTHER IN GLOBAL RANKING
Daily Mirror - Sri Lanka
|September 18, 2025
The Sri Lankan passport which ranked at 91 among 105 countries dropped a further 6 spots since March this year to 97, further weakening the standing of Sri Lankan passport holders to travel to other countries.
Sri Lanka currently shares the 97th position with Iran which is currently facing sanctions from the United States. Just below at the 99th position is Palestine which is currently under a humanitarian crisis, and North Korea run by dictatorship.
According to the latest Henley Passport Index 2025 Global Ranking, Sri Lanka showed progress as it climbed the previous rank of 96 to 91 earlier this year, showing an improvement in the ranking from 2024. Decline in ranking indicates lower recognition for Sri Lankan passport holders during international travel.
