The list was based on data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which analyses how many countries a passport holder can enter visa-free or on a visa-on-arrival basis. The index includes 199 passports and 227 travel destinations - including micro-states and territories.
Japan and Singapore have held on to their joint top spot, with each country offering visa-free access to 189 destinations.
UAE tops the list in terms of the biggest climber in the past 10 years. The UAE passport has jumped from 61 in 2009 to 20 in 2019 - making it one of the most powerful passports in the world, and the most powerful passport in the region.
According to another index, Passport Index, the UAE passport is the world's strongest with 175 points, followed by Finland, Luxembourg, and Spain sharing the second spot jointly with 168 points. Denmark, US, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Germany and Switzerland are among the 11 countries listed jointly as third on the Passport Index.
The Passport Index, created by the Arton Capital, ranks passports based on the number of countries the holder can visit without first obtaining a visa or applying for one on entry.
