The international organization Global Citizen Solutions has published the Global Passport Index 2026, covering 199 countries. Uzbekistan ranked 123rd.

The overall passport index is based on three indicators: mobility index, investment index, and quality of life index.

The mobility index considers not only travel opportunities but also the country's attractiveness for older people in terms of quality of life. In this category, Uzbekistan ranked 129th.

The investment index reflects the attractiveness of the country's economy for investment and business. Higher scores go to countries with dynamically developing economies. Uzbekistan performed well, ranking 89th.

The quality of life index takes into account six factors: sustainable development, cost of living, happiness level, personal freedoms, environmental situation, and attractiveness to migrants. In this indicator, the country ranked 119th.

Among Central Asian countries, Kazakhstan leads at 107th place, followed by Kyrgyzstan (127), Tajikistan (140), and Turkmenistan (144).

The top three are Sweden, Switzerland, and Finland. The bottom of the ranking includes Afghanistan, North Korea, and Vatican City.
