Data from the “Henley Passport Index”, issued by the British company “Henley & Partners”, shows that the Libyan passport is still ranked among the 10 worst passports in the world.
According to the index, Libyan passport holders need to obtain prior visas to travel to 153 countries, including developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan, in addition to many European countries such as France, Germany and Switzerland.
Although the Libyan passport has advanced three places from last year, when it ranked 101st, it is still among the worst in the world in terms of travel freedom.
In contrast, the Singaporean passport tops the index, allowing its holders to travel to 195 destinations without the need for prior visas, followed by the passports of Japan, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, which allow their citizens to travel to 192 destinations without visas.
In third place are the passports of South Korea, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, which provide freedom of travel to 191 destinations.
On the Arab level, the Emirati passport has made remarkable progress, ranking ninth globally, after ranking 55th in 2014, reflecting a significant improvement in the level of travel freedom for Emirati citizens.
On the other hand, the Afghan passport ranks 103rd, and is considered the weakest globally, as it allows its holders to travel to only 26 countries without the need for visas, reflecting the major challenges facing Afghanistan in this area.
