Japan continues to issue most valuable passport in the world, allowing the holder to visit 190 countries, followed by Singapore and South Korea, both of which give access to 189.

Third place is shared by Germany and France, with access to 188 countries, followed by Denmark, Finland, Italy and Sweden.

Luxembourg’s 186 countries rank it fifth together with Spain while the UK occupies sixth place along with the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Austria and the US by giving access to 185 countries.

Afghan and Iraqi passports are the least-valued of all and holders are allowed to enter only 32 and 30 countries respectively without a visa.
