The passport considered most powerful in the world is the Japanese passport.
This is based on the Henley Passport Index, which ranks passports based on the number of countries their holders can visit without a visa.
As of January 2023, Japanese passport holders can access 193 destinations visa-free.
This means that they can travel to almost every country in the world without needing a visa.
Other passports with high rankings include:
- Singapore (192 destinations)
- South Korea (192 destinations)
- Germany (190 destinations)
- Finland (190 destinations)
- Italy (190 destinations)
- Spain (190 destinations)
The Henley Passport Index is a reputable source for passport ranking information, but it's important to note that:
- Visa requirements can change frequently.
- Specific travel conditions can vary.
- The index only considers visa-free access and does not account for other factors like visa-on-arrival policies or other travel restrictions.
Therefore, it is essential to check the most up-to-date visa requirements for your specific destination before traveling.
