Ukrainian passport ranks world’s 35th in terms of mobility
This is evidenced by the latest update, seen by Ukrinform.
Ukrainian passport holders can travel visa-free or visa-on-arrival to 144 countries.
It is noted that Ukraine shares the 35th position with Macau.
The ranking is topped by Japan, whose citizens can visit 193 countries. Runners-up are Singapore and South Korea, whose citizens are able to visit 192 countries with visa-free access. The trio is rounded off by Germany and Spain, whose citizens can travel this way to 190 countries.
The Henley&Partners Passport Index each quarter analyzes the visa regulations of 227 countries and territories, ranking them by the number of visa-free entry destinations.
The ranking has been compiled for more than 10 years in cooperation with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which maintains the world's largest travel information database.
A country's position in the ranking is determined by the number of countries that its citizens can enter without obtaining a visa (without a visa or with a visa upon arrival). Passports of all considered countries shall be biometric.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, as of April 2022, the Ukrainian travel passport occupied the 34th position in the international ranking. At that time, it was possible to enter 143 countries without a visa or with a visa upon arrival.
