The report, which was published in the second quarter of 2021, studies over 199 passports and indexes 110 ranks, based on the number of visa-free destination it has.
The Henley website says that their ranking is an authoritative and original ranking of all the world’s passports based on the number of countries they can travel to without prior visa applications.
They source their data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and enhances them through their in-house research team.

In contrast, Afghanistan had the lowest rank, with a passport that gives access only to 26 visa-free countries.
