Traveling abroad at the moment is not the most relevant topic, but the news is pleasant. Moreover, the pandemic will not last forever.

Recently, the next rating of passports Henley Passport Index was released. It was published by the international company Henley & Partners, which deals with government programs for the provision of citizenship and residence permits by investment.

The index criterion, which ranks about 200 options, is simple: the number of countries that can be visited with the passport of a particular state.

It is gratifying that the Netherlands are in the first lines of the ranking. The country occupies an honorable 4th place. Happy holders of a passport of the Kingdom of the Netherlands can visit as many as 188 countries, and this is the best indicator in all the years of the existence of the index. In 2006, the year of the first release of the rating, residents of the Netherlands could only travel to 126 countries, in 2012 - to 167, and in 2017 - to 173.

Together with the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Austria and Sweden are in 4 positions.

Switzerland, Great Britain, USA, Norway, New Zealand and our closest neighbor Belgium took 6th place. Citizens of these states can visit 186 countries without visas.

And who is on the first? Japan and Singapore. They are absolute leaders: 192 countries can be visited by residents of these eastern states without running through visa centers.

Germany and, unexpectedly for many, South Korea are on the 2nd. With the passports of these countries, without applying for a visa, you can travel to 190 countries.

The third place (189 countries) was shared by:

  • Finland,
  • Italy,
  • Luxembourg,
  • Spain.

Let's look at the countries of the post-Soviet space:

35: Ukraine (141 countries)

46: Russia (119 countries)

48: Georgia (115 countries)

65: Belarus (79 countries)

74: Azerbaijan (69 countries)

78: Armenia (65 countries)

80: Kyrgyzstan (63 countries)

86: Uzbekistan (57 countries).

The last lines of the rating - 109, 110 and 111 places - are expected to be occupied by Syria (29 countries), Iraq (28) and Afghanistan (26).
