Passport holders can travel visa-free to nine countries
In 2026, Pakistan's passport plummeted to 183rd place globally, according to the latest Passport Reports ranking. This marks a significant decline from its previous positions in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The passport's Mobility Score, which indicates the number of destinations accessible without a visa, has also decreased from 47 in 2025 to 42 in 2026.
Only nine destinations currently offer visa-free entry to Pakistani passport holders, while 29 provide visa-on-arrival facilities and four offer electronic travel authorisations (eTAs). Consequently, Pakistani travelers have some form of facilitated entry to 42 destinations, with 156 destinations requiring a visa. This downturn represents a concerning reversal after a period of modest improvement in previous years.
