KARACHI – Pakistani passport still remained below from war-torn countries like Palestine in latest Henley Passport Rankings. The poor ranking of green passport is mainly due to strict visa restrictions, security concerns, political instability, and weaker diplomatic ties, all of which limit travel access.
Currently standing at 102, Pakistani passport grants its holders visa-free access to just 33 countries, with only the passports from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan ranking lower.
Pakistan’s passport has been identified as the fourth worst in the index for almost five years, as countries like Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, Hiati and Chad are still above in the list.
