Arton Capital has
provided us with an overview of "passport power", by analyzing which passports
of what countries grant the most access to the most countries taking into
account visa requirements.
One might
reasonably and understandably assume that all passports are created equal,
which is to say that a passport from most any country will provide a
consistent level of travel access across all corners of the globe. The
laws governing international travel, however, are much more nuanced than
you might otherwise assume. In truth, the country associated with a given
passport can have a significant impact on the degree of travel freedom a
passport holder can enjoy.
The
following list, which was originally compiled by Arton Capital, highlights
which countries offer travelers the most expansive travel options without
requiring a visa for entry.
