Qatar has seen an improvement in its global ranking on the latest edition of the Henley Passport Index, moving up nine places to 46th with visa-free access to 107 destinations. This places Qatar in second place among GCC countries, after the UAE which is ranked 9th with visa-free access to 185 destinations. Other GCC countries like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman are also ranked in the top 60 with varying levels of visa-free access.

Singapore currently holds the top spot on the Henley Passport Index with visa-free access to 195 destinations, followed by countries like France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain in second place with 192 destinations. The UK and several other countries share fourth place with access to 190 destinations. The US, on the other hand, has seen a decline in its ranking over the past decade, dropping to eighth place with access to 186 destinations.

Despite the overall trend towards greater travel freedom over the past two decades, there is a widening global mobility gap between countries at the top and bottom of the index. Countries like Afghanistan remain at the bottom of the ranking with access to only 26 countries visa-free. However, countries like China and Ukraine have seen significant improvements in their rankings over the past decade.

Dr. Christian H Kaelin, Chairman of Henley & Partners, noted that the global average number of destinations travellers can access visa-free has nearly doubled from 58 in 2006 to 111 in 2024. However, the disparity between countries with the highest and lowest levels of travel freedom has also increased. Singapore, for example, has a record-breaking 169 more visa-free destinations than Afghanistan.

Overall, Qatar’s improved ranking on the Henley Passport Index reflects its commitment to facilitating international travel for its citizens. The country’s rise in the global ranking is a testament to its efforts to enhance its global connectivity and strengthen its diplomatic relationships with other nations. As Qatar continues to prioritize its citizens’ mobility and access to the world, it is likely to see further advancements in its global passport ranking in the years to come.

In conclusion, Qatar’s rise in the global passport ranking is a positive development that reflects the country’s efforts to enhance its citizens’ travel freedom. With an improved ranking on the Henley Passport Index, Qatar has positioned itself as a key player in the global mobility landscape among GCC countries. As the country continues to strengthen its international relations and prioritize its citizens’ access to the world, Qatar is well on its way to further improving its global passport ranking and promoting greater travel opportunities for its people.
