The fifth annual edition of the Global Passport Index (GPI) is out now – and Europe has once again dominated the ranking.
Nine of the 10 strongest passports globally are European, with Singapore the only country to break into the top spots in 10th place, according to Global Citizen Solutions’ Global Passport Index.
Unlike the Henley Passport Index, which exclusively looks at the number of countries passport holders can travel to without a visa, the GPI also assesses investment attractiveness and quality of life.
To do so, Global Citizen Solutions (GCS) looked at factors including tax environment, innovation, economic competitiveness, healthcare, safety, climate and social infrastructure.
“Europe’s dominance of the Global Passport Index is total at the top, and it is built on balance, not on any single strength,” Patricia Casaburi, CEO at Global Citizen Solutions, said.
