Swiss passport ranks ninth in global mobility index

The Swiss passport has been ranked ninth globally in the latest Passport Reports index, achieving a mobility score of 173. Swiss citizens can enter 119 countries visa-free, while an additional 54 destinations allow entry via visa on arrival or electronic travel authorization (eTA). Only 25 countries require a traditional visa in advance.

While the Swiss passport remains highly powerful, it trails several European neighbors and other nations. The United Arab Emirates holds the top position globally, followed by Singapore and Spain. Other top-ten countries include Malaysia, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Greece, Portugal, and Austria.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the ranking identifies the passports of Yemen, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan as the weakest in the world, with Afghanistan ranking last due to its limited visa-free access.
