There's been a big change at the top of the Henley Passport Index for the third quarter of this year.
The index counts the number of countries a passport provides visa-free travel to, based on International Air Transport Association data, and uses it to determine the world's most powerful.
The new quarterly report comes from London-based global citizenship and residence advisory firm Henley and Partners.
The company says the latest trends offer a warning to the United States and others in the so-called Anglosphere, such as Australia.
10. Iceland (Tied)
Coming in at number 10 is Iceland, one of two nations that can access 182 other countries without the need for a visa.
10. Estonia (Tied)
The other equal-10th nation is a fellow European country: Estonia.
9. Slovenia (Tied)
Slovenia is one of three countries sharing ninth place on the Henley Passport Index's latest edition.
9. Slovakia (Tied)
Slovakia is the second of the ninth-placed countries, which have 183 visa-free destinations.
9. Latvia (Tied)
And the third of that trio is yet another European country: Latvia.
8. USA (Tied)
At equal eighth is the USA, one of the losers from recent editions of the passport rankings – it used to be in top spot, and has slid a further two positions this year.
"The story is a simple one — by more or less standing still, the US has fallen behind," Greg Lindsay, leading global strategist and urban tech fellow at Cornell Tech's Jacobs Institute, said.
"While its absolute score has in fact risen over the last decade, the US has been steadily overtaken by rivals such as South Korea, Japan, and Singapore.
"America's relentless slide down the rankings — and unlikelihood of reclaiming the highest position any time soon — is a warning to its neighbour Canada and the rest of the Anglosphere as well."
8. Lithuania (Tied)
Joining the United States in eighth place with visa-free travel to 184 destinations is Lithuania.
7. Greece (Tied)
Greece is next on the list. Its passport gives citizens access to 185 nations without the need for a visa.
7. Canada (Tied)
It's the same case for Canada, which sits in at equal seventh.
6. Poland (Tied)
Coming in at equal-sixth place is Poland, which shares the position with two other nations.
6. Hungary (Tied)
One of those is nearby Hungary, which also has a score of 186.
6. Australia (Tied)
And the third sixth-placed nation is on the other side of the world: Australia.
It's actually a marked improvement for our passport, which has jumped up from eighth place and gained one extra visa-free destination over the past year.
Australia is the country with the biggest gap between how many countries its citizens can access (186) without a visa and how many countries it grants the same privilege to (45), according to Henley.
America, Canada, New Zealand and Japan round out the top five.
"It is interesting to note that these five nations have all either dropped down the Henley Passport Index rankings or remained in the same place over the last 10 years," the company states.
5. Switzerland (Tied)
Next comes a whopping seven countries tied in fifth place.
Switzerland is one of these (mainly European) nations with 187 visa-free destinations...
5. Portugal (Tied)
... as is Portugal...
5. Norway (Tied)
... Norway...
5. New Zealand (Tied)
... and New Zealand, which just pipped its Antipodean neighbour by a single point.
5. Malta (Tied)
Malta is also in equal-fifth spot...
5. Czech Republic (Tied)
... along with the Czech Republic...
5. Belgium (Tied)
... and Belgium.
4. United Kingdom (Tied)
The United Kingdom has bounced back after six years on the decline, jumping into fourth spot with 188 visa-free destinations.
The last time it was this high was back in 2017, although its passport still has a way to go to reclaim all its former glory – it shared top spot with the USA in 2014.
