Passports of Greece and Australia among most powerful in the world

·

The 2024 Henley Passport Index rankings were released on Tuesday, and Greece is found in spot 6 in the same place with Poland and above the USA.

Greece’s passport continues to be among the strongest in the world.

According to ABC, Australia now comes in fifth place — alongside Portugal — for the world’s most powerful passports, jumping up from its number six spot last year, and eighth place in 2022.

The annual index has been curated by British consultancy Henley & Partners based on official data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) since 2006.

It places 199 different passports according to the number of destinations out of 227 their holders can travel to without prior requirement of a visa.

Singapore retained its first place as the world’s most powerful passport, continuing to be the only holder of the top spot for two years in a row, and setting a new record with 195 visa-free travel destinations.

In second place were Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and Japan, with a score of 192.
