The Best Passports For Unrestricted Travel Around The World by tzetzefly(m): 10:37am On Oct 16, 2013 |
If you could obtain a passport from any country in the world, which one would you pick? Keep in mind that what passport you hold says a lot more than you may realize about your access to the world. Can’t decide? Here’s some advice: You’d be wise to go with a member of the European Union, which is home to nine out of the top 10 countries whose citizens have the most freedom of (visa-free) travel, according to the 2013 index from Henley & Partners, an international residence and citizenship planning consulting firm. In the report, produced in collaboration with the International Air Transport Association, Henley & Partners ranked citizens’ visa-free access to other countries as of July 2013 on a 219-point scale. The United States’ total score of 172, for example, means that U.S. passport holders may enter 172 countries and territories without a visa, a marked increase from 2012. Citizens of Denmark, Germany and Luxembourg can also enter 172 countries and territories, though it’s citizens of Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom who, with a score of 173, edge out all others to have the best passports for global travel. Rounding out the top tier are Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands at 171, followed by Canada, France, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Portugal and Spain at 170. On the flipside, passport holders of Kosovo (38), Lebanon (38), Sri Lanka (38), Sudan (38), Nepal (37), Eritrea (36), Palestinian Territory (36), Pakistan (32), Somalia (32) and Iraq (31) have the least visa-free travel options among all countries and territories surveyed, save those whose passports were issued in Kabul, Afghanistan. Afghani passport holders can only visit 13 percent of the world, or just 28 countries, free of formalities. In general, passport holders in North America and Europe have the most freedom of travel, while passport holders in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia have the least. Scroll down below for a complete look at the best and worst passports for global travel. Top 10 Best Passports For Visa-Free Travel 1 Finland, Sweden, UK 2 Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, US. 3 Belgium, Italy, Netherlands 4 Canada, France, Ireland, Japan, Norway,Portugal, Spain 5 Austria, New Zealand, Switzerland 6 Australia, Greece, Singapore 7 South Korea 8 Iceland 9 Malaysia, Malta 10 Liechtenstein >>> Nigeria, Guinea Bissau, Timor Leste are co-joint ranked 78 with 48 visa free travel.

Which is why I could never blame those Nigerians who choose to have their children in the UK, Canada, USA, and other top passport nations. The freedom it brings is incomparable to anything else. 5 Likes |
