In the Henley Passport Index 2025, India’s passport ranks 85th, marking a slip from its previous position of 80 in 2024. The index evaluates passports based on the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa. India’s fluctuating rank reflects global changes in visa policies, security considerations, and diplomatic engagements. While Singapore tops the index with visa-free access to 193 countries, India’s position highlights challenges in travel freedom for its citizens compared to neighboring countries like China (64th) and Bhutan (89th). The ranking underscores the influence of international relations on global mobility.
