The Portuguese passport is one of the most powerful in the world.

The latest data of the Henley Passport Index has been announced. As Tereza Pedro pointed out in her news, the Portuguese passport is ranked 5th in the world. Although there seems to be a slight shift in the list compared to last year, there is no decrease in the power we feel on the field or while traveling. This change is entirely due to the internal movements of other countries in the rankings. Latest Status in the Rankings: Peak: Singapore is again the clear leader with visa-free access to 192 destinations. Followers: Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates follow closely behind. Portugal and Europe: Portugal; With the ease of entering 186 different destinations without a visa or with a visa at the door, it shares the 5th place with many of its European neighbors. What Does It Mean to Us in Our Daily Life? The truth of the matter is this: Whether we are planning a business trip or a holiday, not a single thing changes for us. We can take our luggage and go to the overwhelming majority of the world without having to collect documents at the consulate gates in advance and deal with visa bureaucracy. In this index, which is regularly updated with the data of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the numbers may fluctuate by 1-2 digits from time to time. However, the Portuguese passport remains one of the world's strongest and most prestigious travel documents in terms of global mobility.
