World's 7 Weakest Passports: This Country At The Bottom; Pakistan Makes Unwanted Record
World's Worst Passports: The Henley Passport Index 2025 has ranked the world’s strongest and weakest passports based on the number of visa-free destinations they offer. While countries like Singapore, Japan, Finland, France and Germany dominate the top spots and India is at the 85th spot, several nations struggle with global mobility due to political instability, conflict, and diplomatic challenges. Here are the seven weakest passports in the world, offering the fewest visa-free destinations:
1. Afghanistan- Least Powerful
)
Afghanistan remains at the bottom of the Henley Passport Index in 2025 with 106th rank, with its citizens having access to only 26 visa-free destinations. Years of conflict and international sanctions have severely restricted Afghan travelers, making global mobility a challenge.
2. Syria

Syria ranks just above Afghanistan at 105th spot with 27 visa-free destinations. The ongoing civil war, displacement crisis, and strained diplomatic relations have left Syrian passport holders with minimal travel freedom.
3. Iraq

With 104th rank and access to only 31 visa-free destinations, Iraq ranks among the lowest in passport strength. Decades of war, internal instability, and security concerns continue to impact the country's diplomatic standing.
4. Yemen

Yemen, suffering from prolonged conflict and a humanitarian crisis, ranks 103rd with 33 visa-free destinations. The war-torn nation faces severe travel restrictions, limiting opportunities for its citizens abroad.
5. Pakistan

Sharing the 103rd spot with Yemen, Pakistan also offers visa-free access to 33 countries. Security concerns, strained foreign relations, and a struggling economy contribute to its low ranking in global mobility.
6. Somalia

Somalia ranks 102nd with visa-free access to 35 destinations. Political turmoil, security issues, and weak governance continue to limit Somali passport holders' ability to travel freely.
7. Nepal

Nepal ranks 101st with 39 visa-free destinations. Despite being a peaceful country, its passport remains weak due to limited diplomatic influence and economic constraints.
