2026 Global Passport Power: Singapore Leads, Nigeria Ranks Low
In 2026, passport strength varies dramatically, with top holders enjoying visa-free access to nearly 200 destinations and the weakest under 50. The latest Henley Passport Index data puts Singapore at the top with entry to 192 countries, followed by Japan, South Korea, and the UAE at 187. Northern and Western European passports also score highly, granting access to over 180 states. At the other end, many African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian nations face tight travel limits. Nigeria’s passport ranks among the lowest, with visa-free access to just 44 destinations. These findings reveal how geography, diplomacy, and political stability shape global mobility and highlight persistent inequalities in travel freedom.
