What is the strongest type of passport?

Published in Travel 1 min read

The strongest passport in the world, based on the Henley Passport Index, is the Japanese passport.

This means that Japanese citizens can travel to the most countries without needing a visa.

The Henley Passport Index ranks passports based on the number of destinations their holders can access without a visa.

Here are some factors that contribute to a passport's strength:

  • Political stability: Countries with stable political environments tend to have stronger passports.
  • Economic strength: Countries with strong economies often have more favorable diplomatic relations with other countries, which can lead to visa-free travel.
  • International relations: Countries with positive relationships with other nations often have reciprocal visa-free travel agreements.

While the Japanese passport currently holds the top spot, the ranking can change over time based on these factors.
