Again, The Japanese Passport Tops List Of World’s Most Powerful Passports

Once again, Japan made it to the top position of the World’s Most Powerful Passport!

This
is according to the rankings by Henley Passport Index – an organization
that periodically measures the access each country’s travel document
affords.

This will be the second time in succession that Japan has held that position.

The ranking is revised quarterly.

According
to Henley Passport Index report, Japan retains its top spot as the
world’s most travel-friendly passport thanks to the document’s access to
190 countries.

South Korea edged up the ranking from October’s
index to join Singapore, offering access to 189 jurisdictions, thanks to
a new visa-on-arrival agreement with India.

That the top
countries in the list are all Asian — along with other significant
movers from the region — shows that many Asia nations are “sustaining a
high comfort level with mutually beneficial economic migration,” Parag
Khanna, the founder and managing partner of FutureMap in Singapore, told
Henley & Partners.
