Last year, according to the Global Passport Index list of 2020, Pakistani passport was ranking on 198 from the list, which was second to last position.
But since then, Pakistani passport’s discrete power ranking has made progress and jumped from rank 199 to 192 on the Global Passport Index list of 2020. Now, the Pakistani passport ranks better than the passports of Iraq , Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, and Iran ranking at 199, 198, 197, 196, 195 and 194 respectively.
Fortunately, Pakistan’s passport ranking is still a step higher than that of Palestinian Territories, ranking at number 192. However, the global group ranking of both passports is the same, which is at 63.
The Iranian passport power ranking has been sunk even more than before and now stands on 194th rank from the list and has become one of the least respected passports in the world.
