India's passport has slipped to 125th place in a global passport mobility ranking, reflecting reduced visa-free and visa-on-arrival access for Indian travellers. The latest ranking places India behind countries including Namibia, the Philippines and Uzbekistan, highlighting challenges in international travel freedom. Passport rankings are based on the number of destinations citizens can enter without obtaining a visa in advance or by receiving a visa on arrival. The report has renewed discussions on India's global mobility, diplomatic engagement and travel access, while experts note that such rankings can change as countries revise visa policies and bilateral agreements.
