UAE Passport Re-Ranked As World's Strongest Passport | X99News

The UAE passport was ranked first in December 2018, when the country celebrated the “Year of Zayed.” It kept its top spot in 2019, but fell to 14th in 2020. However, the passport regained its glory in 2021, emerging as the strongest in the world.

The UAE approved amendments to the citizenship law earlier this year, allowing investors, professionals, special talents, and their families to obtain Emirati citizenship and passports under certain conditions. The right to establish or own commercial entities and properties is one of the many benefits of UAE citizenship.

The ranking is based on passport holders’ freedom of movement and visa-free travel. The strength of the passport not only represents the citizen’s identity, but it is also an important factor influencing the citizen’s access to global opportunities, ease of movement, and quality of life.

New Zealand’s passport is the second most powerful after the UAE’s, with entry to 146 countries. Passport holders from Germany, Finland, Austria, Luxembourg, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, South Korea, and Australia are permitted entry into 144 countries. Qatar’s passport is the third strongest in the region, ranked 47th in the world’s power rankings. Qatari passport holders can enter 52 countries without a visa and 39 countries with a visa on arrival; a prior visa is required in 107 countries.
