The Henley Passport Index is considered the standard reference tool for global citizens and sovereign states when assessing where a passport ranks on the global mobility spectrum.
Although the Gambian passport has fallen one place from last year, it is still ranked over countries like India, Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia and Rwanda.
