Henley World's Strongest Passports List 2023: Check full list of countries where Indians can travel visa-free
Indian passport
The Henley Passport Index for this year was released recently in which countries all around were ranked according to the performance of their respective passports. Japan topped the list with top rank for the fifth consecutive year and India ranked 85th out of 199 countries. Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan were at the lowest rankings in the Henley Passport Index.
The London-based global citizenship and residence advice firm Henley & Partners issues the Henley Passport Index every year and for the year 2023, they have taken the data from International Air Transport Association (IATA) to make the list.
According to Henley Passport Index 2023, Indian passports have access to travel visa-free to 59 countries.
The index said, "The index includes 199 passports and 227 travel destinations, giving users the most extensive and reliable information about their global access and mobility". Each passport is scored on the total number of destinations that the holder can access visa-free, it said.
As per Henley Passport power scores, only 6 per cent of the world's countries gives you access to more than 70 per cent of the global economy. And only 17 per cent of the countries grant you visa-free access to more than four-fifths of the world's 227 destinations.
