In the Henley Passport Index 2025, India has recorded a great increase. Indian passport now provides visa-free entry in 58 countries and due to this, India’s ranking has increased from 80th place to 76th position. Experts believe that this boom is the result of India’s active diplomatic partnerships, bilateral agreements and growing roles in global forums (such as G20, BRICS and ASEAN). This will make it easier for the citizens of India to travel and will also strengthen the credibility of the country globally.

While India’s passport ranking has been up, America’s passport has reached the lowest level in two decades. America is ranked 10th this time with Iceland and Lithuania. According to the report, there is a steady decline in visa-free mobility of American citizens.

Singapore won the Henley Passport Index 2025. Its citizens get visa-free or visa-on-arrow facility in 193 countries. Second place is Japan and South Korea (Visa free in 190 countries). Third place Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain (Visa Free in 189) in fourth place Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Norway, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Portugal (Visa Free in 188). The fifth place is Switzerland, New Zealand and Greece (187 visa free).

• Extension of international partnerships.
• Emperor Visa Agreement.
• India’s active role on global forums.

Increase in economic and defense cooperation
