Planning an international holiday mostly starts with paperwork. You spend weeks gathering documents and filling out visa forms, then wait for approval with no clear idea of when it will come. For citizens of a few countries, much of this hassle does not exist because their passports are strong enough to skip it.
\n\nThe latest 2026 Passport Index by Arton Capital ranks the world's most powerful passports by how many places their holders can visit without a regular visa. Here is how the list looks and what it means for Indian travellers.
\n\nThe UAE has taken the top spot with a Mobility Score of 182. Emirati passport holders can enter 138 destinations visa-free. They can enter another 44 through simpler arrangements such as visas on arrival or quick electronic approvals.
\n\nSingapore and Malaysia share second place with 175 each, and Spain is third with 174. A large group of countries comes next with a score of 173 each. This group includes Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Ireland and Japan.
