Description
In this episode of Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country, we unpack CNN’s recent report on the Henley Passport Index — and for the first time ever, the U.S. passport has fallen out of the world’s top 10. We’ll explore what this decline means for American travelers, compare the world’s most powerful passports in 2025, and discuss how shifting visa policies and global dynamics are reshaping mobility. From Singapore leading the pack to China’s steady rise, discover the passports that open the most doors — and what Americans need to know about their changing travel freedom.
