US visa policy is much stricter than EU and 3 Asian countries visa policy. That will certainly reduce the number of countries willing to give US passport holder the visa free access.
To date, I've been fortunate enough to travel to 71 countries and that process has been made considerably easier thanks to my British passport 🇬🇧 My wife is Jordanian and her passport is an absolute nightmare; we can't visit many of the world's countries due to the excruciating application processes that are required 🇯🇴 Fortunately, we live in Amsterdam and in a few years she'll be eligible for a Dutch passport 🇳🇱
Schengen area is also the nice large one in europe where citizens of member states dont even need the passport to visit each other. id card is sufficient :)
I'm a South African / British dual-national. I specifically went through a process to get my British passport because my South African one comes with too much baggage.
@TheGamingMexican69 It's because half the world rightfully doesn’t respect the United States. The United States has one of the WORST reputations on the globe.
US citizens have visa-free access to 188 countries, and French citizens have visa-free access to 191. Are these three countries really important for tourists? By the way, what are these three countries? Somalia, Iran, and Syria?
There is an proper list of Most Powerful passports where visas are only 1 of 4 different criteria. Switzerland is currently top of the list, with USA tied for 44th (placing it only 7 above the bottom of the list and below ALL European countries.)
The real way to assess which passport is the most powerful is to calculate the net total between the number of countries the passport was allowed visa free access and the number of countries were allowed to visit the country of the passport without visa.
No! Singapore is an independent english speaking country. They also practice government mandated corporal punishment. I know this because i was alive to remember when that teenage son of a wealthy american executive was arrested and caned for tagging cars. Bill Clinton and Janet Reno got his punishment negotiated down to 6 lashes on the bare bum and upper legs. Even as an 11 year old kid i had zero sympathy for him.
Where is american passport?!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 With american passport, you can travel in 190 countries visa free, (including Brazil & Turkey)..✍✍✍.Your info is fake news...👎👎👎👎👎😡😡😡😡😡.
This passport index is misleading and needs to be looked at with grain of salt. The top 20 countries is mainly EU countries plus 3 Asian countries. The reason is their generous visa policy allowing more countries visiting them visa free. On the contrary, country like US and Canada is much more stricter on the number of countries allowed visa free access. Suppose US and Canada would allow more countries with visa free access, the list of countries their passport can visit will certainly increase.
The passport index takes in to account several factors, not just visas. There are only 3 European "countries" that rank lower than the US: Andorra, San Marino and Vatican City
the ranking may change as soon ETIAS is in action. visa free to schengen will be off the table unless you are citizen of its member states itself, so it is "minus 27" or so for the rest of the world. as USA enforces ESTA europe will enforce ETIAS. visa waiver programs both, but definitely not visa free anymore. ETIAS list is much larger with ~60 countries eligible to apply.
Each country has its; own passport, they are just part of a multinational agreement that allows visa-free travel requiring a sticker on your travel documents or stamp in your passport.
Again, Spain is much more than fiesta, beach, and sangria. In Madrid, the average temperature in winter is 7 degrees. WE have beautiful green landscapes in the center and the north of the country. Galicia, Cantabria, the Principality of Asturias and the Basque Country are pure celtic nations with unique cultures, that are fully covered in snow during winter. Please stop talking just about flamenco and sunny beaches, we are much more than that, and most of us (spaniards) we don't feel represented by this stereotypes.
I don't know where you got the info but, as of 2023, Italian passport is more powerful than German and France ones -- which I believe are both below Japan passport too. In any case this is "falsified" data as European Union countries' citizens haven't needed passports to go from a EU member country to another (other forms of government-issued identifications like Italian Carta di Identita being enough) since the 1990s.
those are 2 different passports and fortunately also different from china itself. fortunately so because HK and Macau rank way above the mainland on passport index :D
Only Europeans consider Europe cultural history as rich. The rest of the world sees them as a single mass of people with frequent infighting and colonialism into the modern day
Murica has existed only for mere 200 plus years (which is basically embryo years old by world history standards), but they've already massacred each other within the same country during Civil War and keep with doing it by having a divided mess instead of a functioning society, and with crazy lunatics everywhere, mass shooting and murdering each other on a constant bases, WITHIN ONE SAME COUNTRY! So do tell me more about how many different neighboring countries who are jam-packed together are doing "frequent infighting"...
Only someone with 0 knowledge of Europe would lump everyone together as a single mass of people. The cultural differences between even small areas within countries can be vast. Might wanna study a bit and not be so ready to generalise. Just makes you sound real salty.
Virtually every European passport is on this list 😅 List is also incorrect. The Swedish passport gives visa free access to 193 countries, fyi, cause you didn't mention it. And most European passports are up there too on the same spot.

USA ??
I know USA wasn't going to be high on the list, but I am shocked they didn't touch the list at all.
Americans have it hard to visit countries like Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia and others
maybe honorable mention?

Same is true about Canada
I like how more than half is just EU passports
Ah yes, the benefits of living in an _actual_ free country, not the one that's always shouting about being the only free country in the world.
Except Japan, Singapore and South Korea, all 17 rest of them were in EEA.
To date, I've been fortunate enough to travel to 71 countries and that process has been made considerably easier thanks to my British passport 🇬🇧

In Kenya our staple food is corn cake which originated from Portugal.
Corn is from the Americas. So no, it is not from Portugal.
As the ancient saying goes: it doesn't matter whether we win or lose, so long as we beat Sweden 🇫🇮
It's the same saying we have in Denmark when we play football against Sweden
It's a tie though. It's actually the same number, 193 countries, that we Swedes can travel to. I googled it. So haha.
@@AlwaysMegaHot It's not a tie, Sweden ranks 4 places above Denmark.
@@Kyrelel Henley passport index puts SWE on 2nd place and Denmark is 3rd. lot of countries share a rank with others
I'm a South African / British dual-national. I specifically went through a process to get my British passport because my South African one comes with too much baggage.
Outdated information. France is not number#1 .
Who cares?
The United States 🇺🇸 wasn’t even close unfortunately 😢
It's because we have places like Iran, China, and Russia with restricted access to those places.
@TheGamingMexican69 It's because half the world rightfully doesn’t respect the United States. The United States has one of the WORST reputations on the globe.

I have no idea what this is about
ireland will retain visa free travel to both britain and europe making it most powerful passport
The real way to assess which passport is the most powerful is to calculate the net total between the number of countries the passport was allowed visa free access and the number of countries were allowed to visit the country of the passport without visa.
