Now Pakistani citizens can travel to 32 countries either visa-free or by getting a visa on arrival. This improvement is being seen as a major step forward for Pakistan on the world stage.

According to the latest Henley & Partners Global Passport Index, Pakistan’s passport now ranks 100th, a big jump from its 113th position back in 2021. This means the world is slowly opening up to Pakistan, and the country s increasing diplomatic engagement and better international relationships are finally beginning to pay off.

But that’s not all.

There’s more good news for Pakistanis, especially those involved in government or diplomacy. A brand new agreement between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) now allows official and diplomatic passport holders to travel between the two countries without needing a visa at all.

This agreement means that government officials and diplomats no longer need to go through lengthy visa procedures before traveling. It’s a gesture of trust and strong bilateral ties — a clear sign that the relationship between Pakistan and UAE is becoming closer and more strategic.

This sudden rise in Pakistan’s passport ranking shows the country is slowly regaining global trust. Countries around the world assess security, diplomacy, and stability before allowing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access. So, this improvement isn’t just about convenience — it reflects Pakistan’s growing respect in the international community.

Moreover, the visa-free agreement with UAE strengthens not just travel convenience but also bilateral cooperation, making business, diplomacy, and development projects smoother between the two nations. If such trends continue, we might see more countries opening their doors for Pakistani citizens in the coming years.
