Singapore Tops Henley Passport Index as Most Powerful Passport in 2023

In a significant update, Singapore has secured the top position on the Henley Passport Index for the year 2023, making it the world's most powerful passport with an impressive visa-free access to 192 travel destinations. Surprisingly, Japan, the previous frontrunner, has now slipped down to the third position, according to the newly released list on July 18.

Sharing the second rank on the list are three European countries, namely Germany, Italy, and Spain, each with visa-free access to 190 destinations. This marks the first time in five years that Japan has lost its top spot. It now shares its rank with Austria, Finland, France, Luxembourg, South Korea, and Sweden.

On the other hand, India finds itself ranked at 80 on the list. The Indian passport shares this spot with Senegal and Togo, providing visa-free access to 57 destinations. At the opposite end, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan hold the unenviable titles of having the world's weakest passports, ranked at 101, 102, and 103 respectively. Pakistan finds itself on the 100th spot.

The Henley Passport Index is a comprehensive comparison of visa-free access for 199 different passports to 227 travel destinations. For each passport that requires no visa, a score of 1 is assigned. The same score applies if the passport allows obtaining a visa on arrival, a visitor’s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) when entering a particular destination.

Excitingly, the UK has experienced a positive shift, jumping up two places to claim the fourth position after a six-year decline. The last time it held this position was in 2017. In stark contrast, the US has witnessed a decade-long slide down the index, plummeting two places further to secure the eighth spot with access to only 184 destinations visa-free. Interestingly, nearly a decade ago in 2014, both the UK and the US jointly held the first place on the index, but their trajectory has been downward since then.

The Japanese passport extended its streak to five years as the world’s strongest. Singapore and South Korea come next, largely followed by European countries. Chile has the strongest Latin American passport — 16th overall — accepted visa-free in 174 countries.

Immigration: Where are Indians moving and why?

The world's largest overseas diaspora is made up of overseas Indians, who make up 13.6 million Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), 18.68 million Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs), and approximately 32.3 million Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) who live outside of India, according to a Ministry of External Affairs report. The largest number of migrants in the world, 2.5 million Indians (25 lakh) travel abroad annually.

India is expected to be the main migration source to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations in 2021 and 2022, according to the International Migration Outlook 2023.

"France is making a concerted effort to accept 30,000 Indian students by 2030. Indian students studying in Germany, which is renowned for its affordable tuition and top-notch educational system, have increased by an astounding 107% during the last four years. Indian students are swarming Spain as well; in only three years, the country's foreign student population has grown by almost 12%,

These aren't the only places that are becoming popular. Singapore's rapid expansion—from 1,500 to 10,000 Indian students in just one year, from July 2021 to March 2022—shows why it is a popular destination for education. The growing number of Indian students in Dubai, especially in basic and secondary school, is indicative of the expanding prospects in the United Arab Emirates.

"There is also a surge in the enrollment of Indian students in New Zealand and Ireland," Arora continued.

Malta is a major surprise, maybe. Arora claims that Malta's English language instruction industry is doing well after suffering losses due to the pandemic. The overall number of student weeks in 2022 exceeded that of any previous year, including 2019. Despite a 103% increase in enrollment from 2021, enrollment is still below pre-pandemic levels.

The nations abroad where there are the most Indians

The United States, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Singapore are the top ten nations outside of India with the largest populations of Indians.

The greatest number of Indian citizens to renounce their citizenship in the last 12 years was 2,25,620 in 2022. 87,026 Indians had renounced their citizenship as of June 2023. These people relocated to 135 different nations. The Ministry of External Affairs reports that although the annual data prior to the pandemic was roughly less than 1.5 lakh, there was a notable increase following the epidemic, with 225,620 people giving up their citizenship in 2022.

Why do wealthy Indians relocate overseas? High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in India are predicted to increase from approximately 800,000 in 2022 to 1.65 million by 2027. And some of them will be considering leaving the nation in the near future. However, why are they moving?

The main reasons are that: foreign passports offer greater mobility (the Indian passport ranks 80th in the Henley Passport Index 2023, along with Senegal and Togo, with visa-free access to 57 countries); India's tax regime is regarded as severe; remittance regulations are strict; and some countries have higher standards of living, including better healthcare and education, more dependable infrastructure, cleaner air, and a better overall lifestyle. One of the main motivations for Indians to immigrate abroad is the availability of better educational options for their children.

In the last five years, approximately 200,000 illegal Indian immigrants have been "encountered" by US authorities.

More than a thousand Indians entered the UK illegally.

Numerous government employees that I have met intend to only settle their children  in western nations. I had met a retired Indian Army colonel whose adult children were living in the United States. Many doctors that I have encountered here are trying to get their kids settled in the United States.  I'm still looking for information showing how many children of government officers end up living in western nations.

Passport Ranking in the World : A Comprehensive Look

Passport ranking is an important criterion for visitors as it limits the number of countries they can visit without a prior visa. The ranking is based on the number of destinations a passport bearer can access without a visa.

Passport Index Ranking

The Passport Index is an interactive web application that provides insights about passports, including the option to compare and analyse the world's passports. The grade is based on the freedom of movement and visa-free travel afforded to holders of particular passports. The site enables the viewing of various territories' passports using a range of parameters such as region and passport cover colour. The Global Passport Power Rank 2023 is an interactive and real-time evaluation of passports across the globe by their total mobility score. The ranking is based on visa-free travel choices and how welcoming the countries are to visiting foreigners. The Henley Passport Index 2023 values the Indian passport at 80, with visa-free access to just 57 countries. The most robust passport in the world in 2023 is Japan, with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 193. The Afghan passport is the lowest-ranking entry in the Global Passport Index, giving visa-free travel to only 27 countries.

Top 10 Countries On Passport Ranking

The passport rating of countries is a significant aspect for travellers as it impacts the number of countries they can visit without a prior visa. The grade is based on the freedom of movement and visa-free travel afforded to holders of particular passports. Here are the top 10 countries on passport classification in 2023 according to numerous sources:

1. Japan - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 193

2. Singapore and South Korea - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 192

3. Germany, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, South Korea - with a combined mobility score of 174

4. United Arab Emirates - with a mobility score of 181

5. Norway, Belgium, Czech Republic, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United States - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 191

6. Ireland, Portugal, and the United Kingdom - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 190

7. Greece, Malta, and Norway - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 189

8. Australia, Canada, and Denmark - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 188

9. Czech Republic, Iceland, and Lithuania - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 187

10. Hungary, Latvia, and Slovakia - with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 186

It is vital to remember that the rankings may fluctuate based on the source and the criteria applied for the assessment.

Global Passport Power Rank 2023

The Global Passport Power Rank 2023 assesses passports across the globe by their total mobility score. The classification is dynamic and real-time. The most robust passport in the world in 2023 is Japan, with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 193. Singapore and South Korea are tied for second spot, with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 192. The Afghan passport is the lowest-ranking entry in the Global Passport Index, giving visa-free travel to only 27 countries. Citizens of the lowest-ranking countries, including Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan, are being cut out of various chances for economic mobility and growth.

Indian Passport Ranking

The Indian passport ranking is now at 80, according to the Henley Passport Index 2023. The Passport Index 2023 puts the Indian passport at 90th among global passports. The passport of India is ranked 70 in the world by the 2023 Passport Index, with persons allowed to visit 73 countries visa-free. However, India lost six positions to 144th in the annual passport index for 2023, from 138th a year ago, according to financial advising services provider Arton Capital. The rankings are decided by the mobility score of the countries which is calculated on provisions including visa-free visit, visa on arrival, an eVisa (if used within three days) and electronic travel permission.

Conclusion

Passport ranking is an important criterion for visitors as it limits the number of countries they can visit without a prior visa. The Henley Passport Index and the Global Passport Power Rank 2023 are two key analyses that provide information on passport power. The most robust passport in the world in 2023 is Japan, with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 193. The Indian passport categorization stands at 80, allowing visa-free access to just 57 countries. The ranking is terrible, but the Indian government has been making attempts to improve it.
