January 30, 2023 World Events & Announcements

According to a new quarterly analysis from London-based global citizenship and residence advice business Henley & Partners, three Asian passports give their holders more flexibility to travel internationally than those from any other nations.
Japan’s citizens can travel to a record 193 countries without a visa or with one on request, just one more than Singapore and South Korea, whose nationals can freely visit 192.

And with Asia-Pacific opening up following Covid, its people are more likely to use that freedom to travel once more.
According to Henley Passport Index’s most recent report, which is based on statistics from the International Air Transport Association, global travel is currently at a level that is almost 75% higher than it was before the pandemic (IATA).

Numerous European nations are positioned close to the top of the leaderboard below the top three Asian nations. Finland, Italy, and Luxembourg are next on 189 destinations, followed by Germany and Spain, who are tied on 190.

Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden are tied at fifth place, followed by France, Ireland, Portugal, and the United Kingdom, which are ranked sixth overall.

At No. 7, among Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, are New Zealand and the United States.

Afghan nationals remain at the bottom of the index once more and are only permitted entry into 27 nations without a prior visa.

According to Armand Arton, founder of Arton Capital, it’s a platform “for people who travel, to deliver accurate, simple-to-access information for their travel needs.”
