The List of the World's Most Powerful Passports - Cyprus's Position

The Henley Passport Index report ranked countries' passports based on visa-free access to other destinations. Singapore holds the top spot, granting its citizens access to 192 countries and territories, followed by Japan and South Korea. The index, based on IATA data, examines the ease of travel for citizens of each country. Cyprus ranks 14th in the ranking, providing access to 174 destinations. This means that Cypriot citizens can travel visa-free to a significant number of countries, but not as widely as holders of the most powerful passports. The list of the top ten passports includes countries from Europe, Asia, and North America. The strong position of Asian passports at the top of the ranking highlights the region's increasing mobility and economic influence. The Henley Passport Index is an important tool for assessing global mobility and passport strength. The ranking is influenced by various factors, such as diplomatic relations, economic stability, and the political situation of each country.
