Uzbekistan was ranked 71st out of 97 countries in the global Passport Index compiled by the Canadian consulting company Arton Capital.
When compiling the index, the company evaluated passports based on how many countries their holders can visit either without a visa, or having received a visa upon arrival in the country.
Citizens of Uzbekistan can visit 24 countries without a visa, in 45 countries a visa can be issued on arrival, and for two countries an electronic entry permit is required. An entry visa is required to visit 127 countries.
In just over six months, the Uzbek passport has lost two positions in the world ranking.
The owners of the most powerful passport in the world were citizens of the UAE. They enjoy a visa-free regime in 125 countries and in another 55 countries they can get a visa on arrival. Afghanistan was placed at the bottom of the list — only five countries offer visa-free travel to its citizens, in another 35 countries a visa can be issued upon arrival.
At the end of last year, Uzbekistan was placed 85th in the Henley Passport Index.
