The 10 most powerful passports in
2020... and an Asian country in first place
The Henley Global Index, which
periodically evaluates the most travel-friendly passports, has released its
first report in the new decade.
Japan is now at the fore, providing
entry to 191 countries around the world without obtaining a visa in advance or
with a visa on arrival.
Asian countries top the list, with
Singapore in second place, providing entry to 190 countries, then South Korea
and Germany in third place, providing entry to 189 countries.
European countries also enjoyed a
strong presence in the top 10, with Finland and Italy tied in fourth, while
Spain, Luxembourg and Denmark ranked fifth.
Sweden and France ranked sixth,
according to CNN.
Meanwhile, the United States of
America and the United Kingdom continue to drop in this list, as they tied in
eighth place, away from the first place they occupied together in 2015.
In the report, Madeleine Sumption,
director of the Oxford Migration Monitor, indicated that net EU migration to
the UK fell by 59% between 2015 and 2018, and this may be attributed to EU
citizens' concern about settling in the UK in light of the threat of
"Brexit". .
The Emirates... a success story
The United Arab Emirates was the
index's biggest success story over the past decade, as it jumped through 47
ranks over the past ten years to rank 18.
The UAE passport provides entry to
171 countries without a visa, or with a visa on arrival.
As for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
it ranked 66th on the list, and the Saudi passport provides entry to 77
destinations without obtaining a visa.
“Countries embracing this new
reality of global mobility are thriving, with their citizens enjoying
ever-increasing passport power, the freedom to travel, and the host of benefits
that come with it,” said Henley & Partners Southeast Asia President and
Co-Director Dominic Falk.
However, the report notes that
there is a growing gap when it comes to freedom of travel, and that gap is the
widest ever since the index was launched in 2006.
For example, the difference between
the number of destinations that a Japanese passport holder can enter and the
weakest passport in the world, namely Afghanistan, is 165 destinations, as
Afghan passport holders can enter only 26 countries without a visa, or with a
visa on arrival.
Here is a list of the most powerful
and best passports to own in 2020:
1. Japan (191 destinations)
2. Singapore (190)
3. South Korea, Germany (189)
4. Italy and Finland (188)

6. Sweden, France (186)

8. United States of America, United
Kingdom, Norway, Greece and Belgium (184)
9. New Zealand, Malta, Czech
Republic, Canada and Australia (183)
10. Slovakia, Lithuania and Hungary
(181)
