Pakistani passport 98th in terms of travel freedom
SIALKOT: We would like to draw the government’s attention towards the ordinary passport issued by the authorities. Visa requirements for Pakistani citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed on citizens of Pakistan by the authorities of other states. As of May 2018, Pakistani citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 33 countries and territories, ranking the Pakistani passport 98th in terms of travel freedom, according to the Henley Passports Index.
Holders of Malaysian passports enjoy visa-free travel or visa on arrival to many nations around the world. According to the 2018 Visa Restrictions Index, a ranking of countries according to the travel freedom their citizens enjoy, Malaysia is ranked 11th in the world, with Malaysian citizens enjoying visa-free access to 169 countries and territories, the highest-ranked in the developing world and among Muslim-majority countries as well.
