According to local media, according to the Henley Passport Index 2022 poll released on Thursday, the Pakistani passport was ranked fourth worst for global travel for the third year in a row.

According to The News International, since 2006, the “Henley Passport Index” has been tracking the world’s most travel-friendly passports.
“The higher travel restrictions that have been constructed throughout the course of the Covid-19 pandemic have created the largest global mobility gap in the index’s 16-year history,” according to the study.
The index ignores temporary restrictions, meaning holders of the top-ranked passports — Japan and Singapore — can travel visa-free to 192 places in theory, according to The News International.
Afghan nationals, who are at the bottom of the 199-passport ranking and may only travel to 26 countries without a visa, have 166 additional options.
As we begin the first quarter of 2022, the standings farther below the top 10 are essentially stable. According to the Pakistani newspaper, South Korea is tied for second place (with a score of 190) with Germany, and Finland, Italy, Luxembourg, and Spain are all tied for third (with a score of 189).
It also noted that EU countries continue to dominate the top of the ranking, with France, the Netherlands, and Sweden leapfrogging Austria and Denmark to fourth place (with a score of 188). Ireland is ranked fifth, while Portugal is placed sixth (with a score of 187). Since 2014, the top two countries, the United States and the United Kingdom, have made some gains.
