Bangladesh’s passport has been ranked 67th in the Global Passport Power Rank 2020.
New Zealand tops the list as most powerful in the ranking.
The South Asian nation bagged a score of just 43 to share the rank of 67th with South Sudan, as per the rankings released on October 2.
Last year, Bangladesh had scored 50 and finished 23 notches lower.
The score represents access to any country without a visa or under the provision of on-arrival visas.
Canada-based global citizenship financial advisory firm Arton Capital conducts the ranking, which is one of the several indices measuring the amount of visa-free world travel.
The index involves the 193 United Nations member countries and six territories.
Various factors influence the ranking, including a mobility score, visa requirements, electronic travel authorization, and a world openness score. Covid-19 measures and restrictions played a crucial role in the rankings this year.
