India ranked 84th in the Henley Passport Index for October 2026, sharing the position with Algeria and Mauritania. The ranking was published on October 9, 2026, and represented an improvement from India’s 85th position in October 2025. However, India’s visa-free or visa-on-arrival access score declined from 57 to 55 destinations. Changes in entry requirements for countries such as Iran and Bolivia contributed to the reduction. Singapore retained the top position, offering access to 193 destinations. The index measures international travel access and does not indicate the right to live, work or study in another country.
