The ranking is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which maintains the world’s largest and most accurate database of travel information, and it is enhanced by extensive, ongoing research by the Henley & Partners Research Department.
The Henley Passport Index (HPI) is updated in real-time, as and when visa-policy changes come into effect. HPI is considered a major reference tool for global citizens and the standard reference for governments in this field.
