Pakistan ranks 91st in the 2025 passport index, offering limited visa-free travel. The UAE remains the strongest, allowing access to 179 countries. It shows that citizens of some countries can travel more freely than others.
The latest 2025 passport index by Arton Capital shows the UAE as having the strongest passport in the world. Its citizens can travel to 179 destinations without a visa. This is the seventh year in a row the UAE has topped the list.
Other countries that maintain strong travel access also benefit from steady international agreements. Their citizens face fewer restrictions when moving abroad.
Pakistan’s Position
Pakistan remains near the bottom of the global ranking at 91st place. Pakistani passport holders can visit only a small number of countries without a visa or with a visa on arrival.
Citizens can visit fewer countries because Pakistan has fewer travel agreements with other countries, along with safety concerns and new global rules. According to analysts, this trend is unlikely to change unless new agreements are made with other countries.
Impact on Travelers
The ranking shows that travel opportunities are not the same for everyone. People with strong passports, like the UAE, can travel more freely. On the other hand, Pakistanis face many restrictions.
Experts say that Pakistan could improve its ranking by making more international agreements and improving ties with other countries.
