The Hungarian passport is soaring in global rankings, offering visa-free access to 155 countries and surpassing major nations like Germany and the UK, cementing its place as a powerful travel asset for Hungarian citizens and a boost for Hungary’s tourism appeal.
Hungarian passport among the top 10
As Turizmus Online writes, the Hungarian passport has climbed the global rankings, reflecting its growing strength in providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to its citizens. As of December 2024, Hungarian citizens can travel to 155 countries without a visa, with an additional 23 requiring e-visas and 17 necessitating traditional visas. This places Hungary ahead of notable countries such as Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Croatia, Greece, and the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the Singaporean passport remains the world’s strongest, achieving a top score of 91.27, followed by Finland, Spain, Denmark, and Italy, which round out the top five.
Destinations that require visas
Despite the advantages of the Hungarian passport, there are still destinations requiring visas for Hungarian citizens, including Afghanistan, Algeria, Chad, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan, and Turkmenistan. However, the rising rank of the Hungarian passport is poised to enhance Hungary’s appeal in international tourism, encouraging Hungarian travellers to explore more accessible destinations. This success not only strengthens Hungary’s global standing but also boosts the visibility of Hungarian tourism and travel on the world stage.
