The Bangladeshi passport once again ranked as the ninth weakest globally as its holder can travel to just 41 out of 227 destinations around the world without a prior visa, according to the third-quarter edition of the Henley Passport Index 2022.
The index, released on Tuesday by Henley & Partners, placed Bangladesh at the 104th position among 112 spots. Kosovo and Libya are also sharing the same position.
The position remained the same in the second-quarter edition of the index published in April this year. Bangladesh, however, ranked 103rd among 111 spots in the first-quarter edition of the index published in January this year.
In the fourth-quarter edition of the 2021 index, Bangladesh was in the 108th position among 116 spots in the index released last October.
According to the index, among the 41 destinations that a Bangladeshi passport holder can travel to without a prior visa, 16 are in Africa, 11 in the Caribbean, seven in Oceania (excluding Australia and New Zealand), six in Asia, and one in South America.
With a Bangladeshi passport, it is not conceivable to visit any European country without a prior visa.
