Nomad Passport 2025 was released and Ireland revealed as a holder of the world’s strongest passport. The annual index published by Nomad Capilist is shifted not only on free access, but on a combination of five key metrics:
- Freedom
- Tax policy
- Global perception
- The availability of double citizenship
- Personal and financial freedoms.

Ireland’s rise to the top is attributed not only to its immediate access without visas, but also its favorable tax laws for non -residents, a high level of personal freedom and the benefits that come up with membership in the European Union. Together, these factors provide the holders of Irish passports with considerable global mobility and flexibility in lifestyle and financial planning.
Switzerland and Greece share second place and combine a strong international approach to travel with favorable residential rights and solid reputation. Greece growing attraction for investors and digital nomads, along with global neutrality and financial security, has helped to strengthen both countries in the ranking.
Portugal, Malta and Italy follow closely. Each country provides generous traveling without visas in and outside Europe, along with tax incentives and popular travels of citizenship for a long time.

The rest of the top 10 include Norway, Luxembourg, Finland and Iceland – a country known for high quality of life, liberal citizenship laws and excellent diplomatic positions. Their passports provide extensive access to countries around the world with minimal visa restrictions.
India stands 148. The series with Comoros is shared
In sharp contrast she was on 148. The place tied to Coros. Indian passport holders are currently enjoying access without visas or arrival in arrival in 57 countries. However, a relatively low rating reflects wider problems that exceed travel restrictions. Indian global perception, limitation for dual citizenship and taxation based on global income contribute to its reduced score in the index.
The Passport Nomad index is designed not only for occasional travelers, but also for individuals with high value, digital nomads and business professionals looking for global freedom and flexibility. A higher value passport usually allows greater ease of movement, more favorable stay options and increased access to international financial systems and opportunities.
While the Indian passport offers access to several friendly nations, its overall score suggests that there is room for improvement in terms of personal and economic freedoms, tax reforms and global diplomatic reach. For many worldwide mobile individuals, the Passport can significantly affect the quality of life and professional potential.
Where does the Indian neighbors stand?
Indian evaluation will place it under several of its regional neighbors. Bangladesh ranks 181 and Nepal is a little chairman of 180, both reflecting similar visa restrictions and administration limitations, although India is doing a little better in global perception and taxation.
Pakistan is 195., which makes it one of the lowest passports in the world. Limited access contributes to its position without visas, poor global reputation and rigid citizenship policy.
China, on the other hand, has a significantly better place in 119. Although diplomatic ties, visa contracts and economic influence are still far from the peak, they offer a broader approach to their citizens – although they maintain strict control over double citizenship and personal freedoms.
