The Pakistani passport has been ranked as the fourth worst for international travel, according to the Henley Passport Index.
The Index, which is a ranking of all the world's passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa, placed Pakistan on the 104th position, Geo News reported.
The Henley Passport Index, which periodically measures the world's most travel-friendly passports released its first report of the new decade.
Last year the Pakistani passport had been ranked as the fifth-worst passport to hold. This year it slipped further in the rankings.
The Pakistani passport only ranks better than the passports of only three other countries: Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. It shares the fourth spot with Somalia.
Pakistani passport holders still enjoy visa-free access to 32 countries.
