The latest Henley Passport Index has been released, and India's passport has secured the 80th position out of 199 passports. Singapore now holds the title of the world's strongest passport, offering visa-free access to an impressive 192 destinations, overtaking Japan, which held the top spot for five consecutive years. Spain, Italy, and Germany closely follow, granting access to 190 destinations each.

The Henley Passport Index ranks passports based on the number of destinations their holders can visit without prior visa requirements. The data for the report is provided by the International Air Travel Authority (IATA), and the list is updated quarterly. India has made significant progress, climbing seven places since 2022 to reach the 80th position in the first quarter of 2023.
