🛂 Pakistani Passport Ranking Improves in 2025
The Pakistani Passport Ranking has seen notable progress in 2025, now positioned at 100th place globally, according to the Henley Passport Index. With visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 32 countries, the green passport is gaining strength on the global mobility scale.
This marks a steady climb from 113th place in 2021—an encouraging sign for Pakistani travelers and global mobility advocates alike.
🤝 UAE-Pakistan Visa Agreement Signed
In a major diplomatic move, Pakistan and the UAE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to exempt diplomatic and official passport holders from entry visa requirements. This means officials traveling between the two nations will no longer need prior visa approvals.
Once implemented, this agreement will save time, eliminate paperwork, and further ease government-level mobility between Pakistan and the Emirates.
