- According to the October 2026 data from the Henley Passport Index, India ranks 84th on a list of 199 passports.
- Citizens holding an Indian passport can travel to 55 destinations without obtaining a visa in advance. Algeria and Mauritania share the same rank as India.
- Singapore holds the top spot on this index; its passport holders can access 193 destinations without needing a visa beforehand.
- Meanwhile, Japan, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates are tied for second place, with their citizens able to travel to 188 destinations under similar conditions.
- Compared to the data from October 2025, India’s ranking has improved from 85th to 84th place.
- However, the number of destinations accessible without a prior visa has decreased from 57 to 55.
- This indicates that a passport’s ranking and the number of destinations accessible without a prior visa are two distinct metrics. Consequently, it is possible for the number of accessible destinations to decline even while the overall ranking improves.
