UAE passport declared world’s best; rises to 1st from 35th last year – News

The 199-country Nomadic Capitalist Passport Index highlights the best citizenships in the world

The UAE passport has been declared the most powerful document in the world. In the index compiled by consultancy Nomad Capitalist, the UAE passport entered the top 10 for the first time this year, jumping directly to first place from 35th last year.

According to the index, this is largely due to the freedom of travel afforded by the UAE passport, “combined with the country’s business-friendly environment and enviable tax regime”.

The 199-country Nomadic Capitalist Passport Index highlights the best citizenships in the world. “Our ratings are based not only on visa-free travel, but also on international tax laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom,” the company said.

The UAE passport has an overall score of 110.5 and the ranking is based on the above factors as “the number of countries that UAE passport holders may visit alone does not tell the whole story, you will have to deal with very different tax requirements, freedom, compliance, travel without inspection “.
