The biggest shifts and changes in 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just outside the top 10, the United Arab Emirates claims 11th position this year. But what\u2019s most significant is its rapid climb over the past decade. Since 2014 the UAE has added 106 destinations to its visa-free list, giving it a high position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the opposite end of the scale, the gap between those who can travel easily and those who can\u2019t is growing wider. At the very bottom is Afghanistan, whose citizens can access just 28 countries visa-free, and second-last is Syria with 29. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the countries on this list of the most powerful passports in the world are facing major elections this year. That could shift and change the global landscape and who we\u2019ll see on this list in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
