Over the years, Pakistan’s passport ranking has seen a decline, falling from 79th in 2006 to 106th in 2024. The three passports ranking lower than Pakistan are from war-torn nations: Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. The poor ranking is attributed to strained diplomatic relations, economic challenges, and limited agreements for free movement.

In contrast, passports from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Spain are considered the most powerful globally.
