Singapore’s passport ranks as the world’s most powerful again, according to the latest Henley Passport Index. All three outlets report that Singaporean passport holders can access 192 destinations without a visa or with visa-on-arrival entry. The index is released twice in 2026, and the most recent update cited by the reports is dated July 21.
The reports also note changes at the top of the ranking since the previous publication. The United Arab Emirates is described as the biggest mover, rising three places to tie for second with Japan and South Korea, with each country listed as having access to 188 destinations. Sweden is placed third, with access to 187 destinations, followed by other European countries, though those additional positions are only partially detailed in the excerpts provided.
Overall, the sources agree that Singapore retains the top position while several countries shift within the upper ranks in the July 2026 update.
