Passport index

Like most of us, I really like traveling, and I am not talking about simply going on holidays, that’s easy, but if possible, moving abroad, learning the language and challenging ourselves. I had a chance to do it quite a few times, and each experience taught me a lot and shaped me as a person. I remember so well that, when I was studying in Croatia, I had to regularly “check-in” at the Police Station as a foreign student. Yes, it was necessary, however it felt uncomfortable and at times, intimidating.

Although many of us might be a bit short of money in January, some of us have already started thinking and planning our 2026 trips abroad. Around Christmas, I came across an interesting statistic, which is the Passport Index, which refers to two primary global ranking systems that assess the travel freedom of citizens based on visa-free access. It helps to determine the resident’s level of global mobility, which was so limiting during communism in Poland, opportunity for economic development and personal safety.
