According to the recently updated Henley Passport Index, Singapore now has the second best passport in the world. It’s a slight dip from the last updated passport ranking where we tied for first place with Japan. For this year’s update though, Japan is at the top of the list solo, granting citizens visa-free entry to 193 destinations.
Not to worry: Singapore in second place means that we can still visit 192 countries visa-free. Whether it’s a scenic road trip starting from Melbourne or trying unique things to do in Seoul, travel is now on the list for many since most travel borders have opened up.
South Korea comes in second, tying with Singapore. In third place, we have Germany and Spain with visa-free entry to 190 destinations. The index considers historical data from over the years, and includes 199 passports and 227 travel destinations.
For those curious, these are the most powerful passports in the world as of July 2022:
- Japan (#1, 193 countries)
