  • Passports can tell you a lot about a country. Colour can be a statement of national identity, state religion, or international co-operation. But not all passports are equal.

    The thing is, while the German passport is really powerful, we can’t get into some of the most powerful countries visa free; countries whose citizens can get into Germany itself visa free because of that Schengen area thing, which I think is quite unfair. Germans have to apply for a visa for e.g. Australia and the US (which are really attractive places for German tourists), but Australians and Americans can simply visit for a whoppin’ 90 days without having to go through that visa thing as well.

    • @0pensourcegamer
      @0pensourcegamer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +55

      That's true, I'd also question the method for calculating passport power - let's say one passport allows visa-free travel to USA, Russia and China, and the other one provides visa-free access to USA, Tuvalu, Bhutan and Vanuatu.
      According to the ranking of the video, the second passport would win (4 countries vs. 3), but it's obvious which of the listed countries are more popular for average tourist.
      So, if we summed not just number of countries, but summed the popularity of each, the first passport would win.

    • @jenna_maria
      @jenna_maria 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Dave Flynn Exactly, that’s the flaw with the German passport as well.
      We can travel to some small countries in the middle of nowhere which sounds nice at first, but considering that little to no Germans have ever been to those countries and that those countries on their own aren’t powerful either, it actually doesn’t make any sense to liken the power of those countries to the power of the world’s most influential and financially strong nations, as you already said. 🙌🏻

      German passports have fake power.
      The countries you can travel to visa free on a German passport are kind of a joke. It's appreciated, don't get me wrong, but like you said, German's don't have access to influential countries without having to apply for a visa.
      The US made it a bit easier by introducing the ESTA program, so Germans can apply for it. It takes 10 minutes and costs $10 to be allowed to travel to the US without a visa obtained from the consulate. It's better than needing to go to the embassy, but it's still not visa free

    With an EU passport, if you are ever in trouble in another country, you have 25 embassies in the country that will help you. For example, in Bangladesh Belgium does not have an embassy. However, a Belgian citizen has 8 European embassies that will consider them as their own citizens under European law.

    I would question the method of calculating the power of particular passport from that ranking. It is very misleading. It only takes into account visa free access. It does not however take into account many other very important factors such as :
    1) holders of particular passports may be banned completely to enter some countries e.g. Israeli passport which ranks high does not allow you to enter most of muslims countries in the world
    2) how difficult, how long and how expensive is it is to obtain certain visa- some of them are just very simple to obtain- on arrival without any problem, some need months and tones of paperwork to obtain
    3) how difficult is to obtain a passport- some countries severely limit or do not even allow most of their citizens to travel
    4) certain passport allow their citizens not only to travel but also to settle in other countries without particular problems e.g. EU passports (which is in fact a real strength of the passport)
    5) location, connections and how rich the citizens are- so real abilities of people to travel
    6) foreign policy of the country- which may affect how the traveller is being treated in other country and how easily they can get help if necessary

      I've got Japanese passport but I dont think it's that convenience, who will need to go to all those 190 countries...? I strongly prefer to have one of the European passport so that I could work and live freely as long as I want, inside Europe. With Japanese passport it's such a pain in the ass to get the working permit to European countries.

    Count by number of nations is a little misleading.
    It seems like Europe visa(like German visa) is as powerful as Singapore visa and south Korea visa if only count number.
    But Singapore visa can enter China without visa and same situation when using south Korea visa to enter Russia. Both country are popular destination for tourism or business and only give very few countries in the world to enter without a visa. Their visa also need lots of documents.
    And the most important thing is, whether you can travel around world mainly depends on your financial capability... Even you only have a very weak passport, you can easily get a visa easily if you can prove you are rich...

    • @TheNachoOne
      @TheNachoOne 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I also think is very misleading. Lots of passports rank high just because they can access visa free to insignificant island nations. Chile for example is in the top 50, but is the only country with South Korea that can enter visa free to both the US and Russia. They should assign points for the international relevance of the countries you can access visa-free.

    Interesting fact about the current British EU passport:
    Russia has closed both the UK Consulate and the British Arts Council, so any British Citizens who have an issue that needs to be dealt with, obviously cannot get consular assistance in that country
    ....but there is another way.........
    The British EU passport in this instance is more powerful, in this case, than you can imagine.
    If you're an EU passport holder and a situation like this occurs, you can go to the consulate of any other EU member state for help. For example, British citizens can go straight to a German, Italian or even Polish embassy and get assistance through them.
    After Brexit, we will lose our rights. Not just to freedom of movement but also our right to get consular assistance from another EU member state, if anything happens to a British consulate- anywhere in the world.
    Food for thought...

      Well the amount of countries a passport can access changes, whether its from an agreement between two countries for visa free access or when a country cancels visa free access from other countries like Belarus who denied about 30+ countries from accessing it a number of years ago.
