The United Arab Emirates moved up significantly to share second place with Japan and South Korea, each providing access to 188 destinations. Sweden holds third place with 187 destinations, followed by several European countries. At the bottom of the rankings, Afghanistan remains the least powerful with access to only 22 destinations, highlighting a significant disparity in global travel freedom.

The report notes a strong correlation between national peace rankings and passport power, although some countries like the U.S., South Korea, and Russia maintain high passport rankings despite lower peace scores.
