The Most Powerful Passports In The World



Its a new year filled with lots of planned fun activities with families and friends planning to visit different countries and places in search of relaxation, fun and adventure.
There are few things more liberating than travel -- although some passports offer more freedom than others.
A new report published in February 2018, reveals just how many borders some travel documents can cross.
There are, it says, just two countries whose citizens enjoy visa-free access to a whopping 180 destinations around the world, and they're both in Asia.


Japan and Singapore are now the world's most powerful passports, according to the Henley Passport Index. They've successfully knocked Germany off the top spot, with its visa-free access to 179 destinations.
It's due in part to Uzbekistan lifting visa requirements for Japanese and Singaporean nationals in early February. Last year Paraguay also removed visa requirements for Singaporean passport holders.


The rise in the index of wealthy Asian states is long overdue, argues Parag Khanna, Senior Fellow at the Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the National University of Singapore.
"These two states in particular are identified as peaceful commercial powers, with their citizens interested primarily in business and investment activities," says Khanna in a statement.

South Korea is the third place in the rankings, alongside the European countries of Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Spain and Sweden. It's passport holders have visa-free access to 178 destinations.
