Singapore knocks off Japan as world’s most powerful passport

Citizens of the Lion City can visit 192 destinations visa-free.

Singapore has risen to the top of the list of the most powerful passports in the world, knocking off Japan.

According to Henley & Partners, citizens in Singapore can travel to 192 out of 227 destinations around the world, visa-free.

From 2013 to 2023, 25 were added to the list of destinations where Singapore passport holders can travel without a visa.

In 2013, Singapore ranked 6th in the index.

The index also stated that Singapore is amongst the top five places with the “smallest discrepancy between their access and their openness” alongside South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong (SAR China), and Barbados.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
