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.
