The Henley Passport Index, the only passport index based on exclusive data provided by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), has been recently released showing the world\u2019s most powerful passports for 2020 with the Japanese and the Singaporean ones topping the list. According to the number of destinations passports\u2019 holders are allowed to access without an earlier visa, the Japanese citizens enjoy a visa-free entry to 191 points of disembarkation and the Singaporeans to 190 . Worth mentioning is that according to the 2019’s ranking , Japan and Singapore shared a joint first place with a visa-free access to 189 countries and territories.<\/p>\n

On the other side, Afghanistan came at the very end of the 2020’s list, acquiring the 107th place with 26 countries visa-free. Along with Norway, Greece, Belgium, and the US, the UK shared the eighth place; the citizens of each can pass the demarcation of  184 lands. There is no doubt that Brexit impacted the ranking of the UK whose passport was the world’s most powerful in  2013, 2014, and 2015; afterward, the British passport dropped reaching the sixth place in 2019.<\/p>\n
