Botswana passport strength drops

Botswana’s passport ranking strength dropped by two points to 57 this year, according to a new global passport ranking system.

This means that Batswana can now travel visa-free to fewer countries than in 2024.

According to the Henley Passport Index 2024 January Ranking the country’s global passport ranking stood at number 59 last year. With the drop, this means that local passport holders can visit only 57 nations globally without visas, down from 59 in 2024.
