Malaysian Passport Recognized as one of the Powerful Passport
The Malaysian passport is ranked as the 13th most “powerful” in the world, as holders enjoy visa-free access to 178 countries.
Although Malaysia’s ranking on the 2020 Henley Passport Index and Global Mobility Report dropped by one compared with last year, it is still among the top four Asian countries holding “passport power”.
