Singaporean passport holders can travel to 195 countries either visa-free or by obtaining a visa on arrival. This surpasses other highly ranked passports from countries like Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Japan, which has frequently been at the top in previous years, is tied for second place in 2024 along with France, Italy, Germany, and Spain, each allowing access to 192 countries.
