Balkan countries' 2026 passport rankings

Entities: Serbia · Passport Index · Slovenia · Bosnia and Herzegovina · Croatia

Overview

The July 2026 Henley Passport Index confirmed Singapore’s lead with 192 visa‑free destinations, while Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates shared second place (188). Kosovo’s passport climbed to 60th, matching China and offering visa‑free travel to 83 countries—a 35‑position jump since 2016.

A separate passport ranking released later in July placed Bosnia‑Herzegovina at 40th worldwide, tied with Albania, Moldova and Venezuela. Its mobility index of 123 provides visa‑free entry to 76 destinations, visa‑on‑arrival to 42, electronic travel authorisation to five and pre‑approved visas to 75. Regionally, Bosnia trails Croatia and Slovenia (both with a mobility index of 172) and sits below Serbia (133) and Montenegro (130).

Together, these updates show the varying degrees of travel freedom among Balkan states: Macedonia remains ahead of Kosovo, while Bosnia‑Herzegovina occupies a middle tier, all behind the top‑ranked economies whose passports dominate global mobility.
