What the Indian passport can learn from Singapore
On Wednesday, january 8, 2025, Henley Global released its Passport Index, reaffirming Singapore's passport as the most powerful in the world. Despite sharing the top slot with France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and spain the previous year, singapore has taken the top spot all by itself this year since these nations have fallen in the rankings. A Singaporean passport bearer may enter 195 countries without a visa, therefore the title is well-earned. Singapore's standing as a major vacation destination has been cemented during the last eight years, as it has continuously been in the top two and has been in the top 10 for more than 20 years. By contrast, India's passport, which allows visa-free entry into 57 countries, is placed 85th on the most recent Henley Passport Index. However, what makes Singapore's passport so powerful, and how has it held its hegemony over the years? There is much more to the solution than simply the cover's color. The Passport Index With visa-free access to an astounding 195 out of 227 international locations included in the Henley Passport Index, singapore has regained its position as the most powerful passport in the world this year. This accomplishment puts singapore well ahead of second-ranked Japan, which allows visa-free travel to 193 countries, including China. This is a major turning point since travel was resumed after the COVID-19 lockdowns. South Korea and a group of EU countries, including France, Germany, Italy, spain , and Finland, share third place. These nations' significant global mobility is demonstrated by the fact that their citizens may travel to 192 locations globally without a visa. Now, let's offer you a brief overview of how this organization rates its nations. By evaluating 199 passports' visa-free access to 227 international locations, the Henley Passport Index assigns a ranking. The passport receives one point for every place where a visa is not needed. The same is true whether visitors are able to get an electronic travel authorization (ETA), visitor's permit, or visa on arrival (VOA) at the point of entry. The passport obtains a score of 0 if obtaining a visa is required, or if travelers must obtain a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) or pre-departure authorization for a visa upon arrival. Simply said, a passport's overall score is a clear indicator of the freedom to travel the world as it shows the total number of places to which it allows entry without a visa. By the way, the international Air Transport Association (IATA) is the exclusive source of this data. Therefore, when singapore is awarded the title of "strongest passport," it signifies that having a Singaporean passport can allow you to travel more freely than any other passport. In addition to Henley, there are other organizations and reports that support this. For example, Singapore's passports are among the top 10 for 2025 according to the passport index. How can india Do Better? India and singapore are both Asian nations, but if you're indian and have ever filed for a US or Schengen visa, you are aware of the difficulties. Many of our trip plans are frequently impacted by visa denials. According to this year's data, India's passport is rated 85th in the world. This represents a five-position decline from the previous year. But according to Dharmani, India's passport conveys a different message, one of slow transformation and unrealized promise. India's current ranking of 85th in the world on the passport power index is a reflection of both its possibilities and its limitations. India's rating dropped from its peak of 71st in 2006 to 90th in 2021 because to the devastating impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, he said. • Strengthen diplomatic relations • Promote inbound tourism • Enhance infrastructure and governance • Focus on economic growth and stability
