In a significant shift in global travel dynamics, the United States passport has fallen out of the top 10 in the Henley Passport Index for the first time since its inception two decades ago. This widely recognized ranking measures passport strength by assessing the number of destinations holders can access without requiring a prior visa. The latest data reveals a notable decline in the US passport’s standing, reflecting broader changes in international mobility trends. Meanwhile, Jamaica has maintained its position at 60th place, offering its citizens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 87 countries. The Henley Passport Index, which relies on data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), serves as a barometer of diplomatic relations, economic developments, and evolving visa policies across nations. This year’s rankings underscore the fluid nature of global travel privileges and the impact of geopolitical and economic factors on passport power.
