World’s most powerful and weakest passports of 2025: Where does Pakistan stand?

The Nomad Passport Index (NPI) has released details on the most powerful and weakest passports of 2025, classifying 190 countries.

Ireland, Switzerland, and Greece topped the list of the most powerful passports.

Pakistani passport remained weak due to various factors including political instability, and security concerns as economic challenges, and strained diplomatic relations.

Pakistan continues to rank among the weakest passports in the world.

Islamabad ranked at 195th position out of 199 countries and territories.

Nomad Capitalist assesses passports based on visa-free travel access, perception of the country’s development, taxation policies for citizens living abroad, the right to hold dual citizenship, and personal freedoms such as press freedom and government surveillance.

Pakistanis, despite power ranking of passport, can still access number of countries, along with visa requirements.

The low ranking is attributed to multiple factors, including strict visa policies by other nations, limited opportunities for dual citizenship and higher taxation rates on foreign income.
