UAE maintains title of most powerful passport worldwide

 According to research by the Nomad Passport Rating Index, the UAE has once again been the country with the strongest passport in the world. The rating of passports was based on factors including freedom, perception, dual citizenship, taxation, and travel.

The UAE passport receives a total score of 110.50 since it enables travel to 181 nations. The index used news sources and publicly accessible passport data to rank travel access for the UAE, according to the research.

“We total the nations with Visa-free, Visa On Arrival, and eTA to determine the Travel ratings. We gave the UAE a travel score of 181, as there are 116 countries that UAE passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e., visa-free countries), 58 countries that permit UAE passport holders to enter by getting a visa on arrival (i.e., visa-on-arrival countries), and 7 destinations that accept electronic travel authorizations (eTAs),” the report said.

Passport holders from the UAE are permitted to travel to 181 countries and territories either with or without a visa. A physical visa or an electronic visa is required for 69 more places of travel for UAE citizens.

Also, the UAE's zero-tax policy improved its passport ranking, giving it a total score of 50, according to the survey.

According to the Passport Index, the UAE passport has risen to the top of the worldwide rankings to become the strongest passport in the world.

The mobility score, which reflects how many countries a passport holder may visit without difficulty, is used to rank passports. According to the same rating, UAE passports had the highest mobility score in the world (181).

The passport presently holds the number one power rank with a 91 percent global reach.

According to information from the Henley Passport Index, the UAE also maintained its 15th place as the nation with the strongest passport worldwide in January. According to the research, those with UAE passports can enter 178 out of 228 countries without needing a visa first.

The Henley Passport Index rates various international passports according to the number of locations that passport holders can travel to without a prior visa.
