Moreover, the Henley & Partners’ research team studies and classifies the data on multiple parameters to develop the index.
For past several years, Pakistan’s Passport has seen devaluation on multiple fronts. For instance, Saudi authorities recovered 12,000 Pakistani passports from Afghan nationals in 2023.

The political crisis in Pakistan resulted in cancelation of 23 Pakistani Passports whose owners were involved in attacking former Chief Justice of Pakistan in London, United Kingdom. Recently, Pakistan cancelled passports of 4700 citizens imprisoned in UAE.
