India fell six places to the 144th position in the annual passport index for 2023.
The Passport Index 2023 has been published by financial advisory services firm Arton Capital that ranks passports of 199 countries.
The rankings are determined by mobility score of the countries which is calculated on provisions like visa-free visit, visa on arrival, an eVisa (if used within three days) and electronic travel authorisation.
India’s mobility score fell from 71 in 2019 to 47 in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Passport Index 2023 report.
The score rose to 73 in 2022 as travel restrictions were gradually lifted, but it fell back to 70 in 2023.
The ranking was topped by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with a mobility score of 181. It was followed by Sweden, Germany, Finland, Luxembourg, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Austria, with a joint mobility score of 174.
South Korea, which is 12th in the individual rankings and has a mobility score of 174, has the highest score in Asia. Japan hold the 26th spot with a mobility score of 172.
