Will Kazakhstan’s passport continue to strengthen in global rankings?
According to Henley & Partners, the 2026 Henley Passport Index ranks Kazakhstan 61st globally, up four places year-on-year, with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 78 countries. The improvement reflects gradual gains in diplomatic engagement, even as global passport power becomes more competitive. By contrast, United Kingdom saw one of the sharpest declines in 2025, while United Arab Emirates continues a long-term surge driven by active visa diplomacy.
Conditions
Resolves “Yes” if by December 31, 2026, Kazakhstan improves its position or visa-free access compared with the 2026 ranking (e.g., higher rank than 61st or more than 78 destinations), as reported in an updated Henley Passport Index or equivalent official release. Otherwise — No.
