Greece and Australia have both secured top spots in the latest Henley Passport Index, which ranks global passports by the number of destinations their holders can access without a visa.
Greece ranked sixth, offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 186 destinations. It shares the position with Hungary, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden, just behind European leaders Germany, Italy, and Spain.
The ranking reflects Greece’s strong global mobility and openness in travel access.
Australia followed closely in seventh place, with its passport granting entry to 185 destinations either visa-free or through an electronic travel authority, visitor’s permit, or visa on arrival. It shares its position with Czechia, Malta, and Poland.
Since the index began in 2006, Australia’s lowest ranking has been ninth (in 2006, 2010, and 2019), while its highest was fifth in 2024.
The Henley Passport Index, compiled by British migration consultancy Henley & Partners, uses exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association to assess 199 passports across 227 destinations.
At the top of the 2025 rankings is Singapore, whose citizens enjoy access to 193 destinations, followed by South Korea and Japan.
Meanwhile, the United States dropped out of the top 10 for the first time in 20 years, now sitting 12th alongside Malaysia, with access to 180 destinations.
