एशियाई पासपोर्ट वैश्विक शक्ति रैंकिंग में उछाल, जबकि अमेरिका और यूके कमजोर होते हैं—भारत सबसे बड़ी छलांग मारता है।

The latest Henley Passport Index reveals a major shift in global passport power, with Asian countries like Singapore, Japan, and South Korea dominating the top spots, offering their citizens visa-free access to nearly 200 destinations. The US and UK passports have both slipped in the rankings, with the US dropping to its lowest-ever position at 10th place. India made the most significant jump, climbing from 85th to 77th, now granting its citizens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 59 countries. Meanwhile, countries like Canada and the UAE maintain strong positions, while passports from Pakistan and other nations remain among the weakest. The rankings highlight growing disparities in global mobility and the increasing importance of diplomatic relations in travel freedom.
