Planning to travel abroad for a vacation? Well, you’ll be happy to know that our passport is still quite strong compared to other countries, giving us the ability to travel to more countries.<\/p>\n

The latest Henley Passport Index<\/a> report, which is an index that rates how “powerful” a passport is, ranked Malaysia’s passport at the 12th spot this year. Dropping down one spot compared to 11th place in 2023.<\/p>\n

What makes our passports powerful is the fact that we can visit 182 out of 227 travel destinations without the need to apply for a visa. Malaysia shares the 12th spot with Cyprus and Liechtenstein, where both countries also have a “visa-free score” of 182.<\/p>\n

Countries that ranked higher than Malaysia in 2024 include Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Greece, and our neighbours across the bay Singapore, maintaining its 1st place with visa-free access to 194 destinations. However, this year Singapore shares the number 1 spot with France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
