passport is the key to international travel. Although no country can allow its citizens to enter every country in the world without visa, the 2021 Henry Passport Index found that Japan's passport is still the most powerful.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Japan has ranked top in the world's nearly 200 passports assessments. This also marks another year when the United States failed to enter the top five.
Our country currently ranks 72nd, with 79 visa-free countries.
Henley Partners, a global citizenship and residence consulting firm based in London, ranks passports based on the number of destinations a passport holder can enter without applying for a visa. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the 2021 Henry Passport Index was released on October 5 after analyzing 199 passports and 227 tourist destinations.
For each travel destination, if a visa is not required, the passport score is 1. This also applies if the passport holder can obtain a visa, a tourist permit or an electronic travel authority (ETA) at arrival," the Henley report said in an explanation of its ranking method. If a visa is required, or if the passport is held, People must apply for a government-approved electronic visa (electronic visa) before departure. Please specify the score as 0. The same applies if they need to approve visas before departure on arrival.
