All Singapore passport holders can travel to 192 countries without a visa. According to the Henley Passport Index, Japan has been on top for five consecutive years, but now it has dropped to third. Countries such as Luxembourg, Sweden, France, Finland, South Korea, and Austria share the third position with Japan, and people with these passports can visit 189 countries visa-free. 

The good news is that the Indian passport has moved five spots up, securing the 80th position, meaning that Indian passport holders can visit up to 57 countries without any visa.
