India’s passport has recorded its biggest-ever rise on the Henley Passport Index, moving up eight places to reach the 77th position in 2025. Indian citizens now enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 59 countries, the highest number ever for India.

As global travel patterns evolve, Adria countries may look to streamline access and build deeper bilateral ties with high-mobility nations like India.
