The United States has fallen to its lowest ever ranking on the Henley Passport Index, dropping to 10th place. Singapore retains the top spot with visa-free access to 193 destinations. The US's decline is attributed to a less engaged approach to visa waivers compared to countries actively pursuing reciprocal agreements. The new US visa integrity fee is also expected to deter international visitors. The index highlights a growing global competition for travel mobility, with Asian and European nations dominating the top rankings.
