How Do We Rank It?

passportreports.com's AI-supported ranking model ranks passports by mobility score, a metric that combines visa-free entry, visa on arrival, and electronic travel authorization access. When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About Pakistan

Pakistan lies in South Asia, bordered by India, Afghanistan, Iran, China, and the Arabian Sea. Its landscape ranges from the towering Karakoram mountains to the flat Indus River plain. The northern areas feature glaciers and valleys, while the south has arid deserts and a long coastline. This geographic diversity shapes its regional character, blending Central Asian, Persian, and South Asian influences.

Life in Pakistan's cities moves at a fast pace, with Karachi bustling as a commercial hub and Lahore known for its cultural heritage. Traditional values remain strong, often expressed through extended family gatherings and religious observance. Local bazaars and street food are central to daily routines, offering a vibrant mix of flavors and crafts. Hospitality is a key social norm, with guests frequently welcomed with tea and conversation.

Pakistan occupies a strategic position near the Strait of Hormuz and along historical trade routes. Its foreign policy balances ties with China, the United States, and Gulf states while navigating tensions with India. The country actively participates in regional organizations such as SAARC and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Ongoing security and economic challenges continue to shape its international engagement.
