The Indian passport ranks 80th in the world's most powerful passport list for 2024, with citizens allowed to travel to only 62 countries without a visa. The country shares its rank with Uzbekistan, while neighbouring nation Pakistan is positioned at 101 spot. An unprecedented six countries share the top spot with visa-free access to a record-breaking number of destinations on the 2024 Henley Passport Index. Four EU member states — France, Germany, Italy, and Spain — join Japan and Singapore in boasting the most powerful passports in the world, with their citizens able to visit an astonishing 194 destinations out of 227 around the globe visa-free. The two Asian nations have dominated first place on the index (which ranks all the world’s passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa) for the past five years. The Henley Passport Index compares the visa-free access of 199 different passports to 227 travel destinations. If no visa is required, then a score with value = 1 is created for that passport. The same applies if you can obtain a visa on arrival (VOA), a visitor’s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) when entering the destination. Where a visa is required, or where a passport holder has to obtain a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure, a score with value = 0 is assigned. This also applies if you need pre-departure government approval for a visa on arrival. The total score for each passport is equal to the number of destinations for which no visa is required (value = 1). Asian tiger South Korea joins Finland and Sweden in 2nd place with visa-free travel to 193 destinations, and another four EU nations — Austria, Denmark, Ireland, and Netherlands — share 3rd place with access to 192. The rest of the Top 10 is largely dominated by European countries, with the UK climbing up two ranks to 4th place with visa-free access to 191 destinations compared to just 188 a year ago. Australia and New Zealand passport holders both improve their ranking to sit in 6th place with 189 visa-free destinations, while the US retains its 7th place with access to 188 destinations without requiring a visa in advance. It has been a decade since the UK and the US jointly held 1st place on the index in 2014. Indians can travel visa-free to the following destinations: Angola Barbados Bhutan Bolivia British Virgin Island Burundi Cambodia Cape Verde Islands Comoro Islands Cook Islands Jamaica Iran Indonesia Haiti Guinea-Bissau Grenada Gabon Fiji Ethiopia El Salvador Djibouti Dominica Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kiribati Laos Malaysia Maldives Macao (SAR China) Madagascar Marshall Islands Mauritania Mauritius Montserrat Mozambique Myanmar Nepal Niue Tanzania St. Vincent and the Grenadines St. Kitts and Nevis St. Lucia Sri Lanka Somalia Seychelles Sierra Leone Senegal Rwanda Samoa Qatar Palau Islands Oman Thailand Timor-Leste Togo Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Tuvalu Vanuatu Zimbabwe Micronesia
