News From a news agency Context piece
  • Denmark's passport ranks as the fourth strongest globally, allowing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 186 destinations.
  • The Henley Passport Index, which tracks global travel freedom, places Singapore at the top with access to 192 destinations.
  • The index notes a correlation between a country's peace index ranking and its passport strength, though exceptions exist.

Danish citizens enjoy significant global travel freedom, with their passport ranking as the fourth most powerful worldwide. This allows them access to 186 destinations without a visa or with a visa upon arrival, according to the latest Henley Passport Index.

Singapore leads the index, offering its citizens access to 192 destinations. Denmark shares its fourth-place position with nine other European nations, including France and Germany.

The index, which has been tracking global travel accessibility for 20 years, uses data from the International Air Transport Association to assess ordinary passports and formal visa regulations. It highlights a strong link between a nation's standing on the peace index and the strength of its passport. Countries like Singapore, Japan, Finland, and New Zealand, along with Denmark, consistently rank high on both lists. However, the report acknowledges exceptions, such as the United States and Israel, which possess strong passports despite lower rankings on the peace index.
