Indian passport holders currently enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 57 countries. Meanwhile, Singapore continues to lead the index, having one of the world’s strongest passports. This ranking emphasises the importance of international mobility and the varying degrees of travel freedom granted by different national passports.
