Taiwan passport ranks 35th globally
ROC passport holders have visa-free access to 143 countries and territories around the world, ranking it 35th in the latest Henley Passport Index.
The passport fell four places from 31st in the previous survey issued by the London-based consulting firm Henley & Partners in July 2023.
The rankings are slightly deceptive in that place rankings do not account for ties as although Taiwan's passport ranked 35th, 69 countries had passports with more visa-free access.
Singapore tops the rankings in the latest index, sharing first place with France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain.
Afghanistan remained at the bottom with only 28 destinations offering visa-free travel to its passport holders.
The Henley Passport Index compares the visa-free access of 199 different passports to 227 travel destinations. Its first index was issued in 2006.
