The report, published on Henley & Partners’ website, indicates that Bangladeshi passport holders can now travel to 42 countries without a visa.
In the latest ranking, the six most powerful passports are held by France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Spain. Passport holders of these countries enjoy visa-free travel to 194 destinations worldwide. This marks an improvement for Bangladeshi passport holders, who can now travel to 42 countries without a visa, up from 40 countries last year.
