Henley Passport Index names 2024's most powerful passports | BBC News 

That's a powerful axis!

By the way, Japan has started remilitarizing in 2023.

@@DrVictorVasconcelos No it hasn't.

Ohh shit! 😮

>HoI4 Axis theme starts playing

But it's blue now! 🖤

its all these dumb fish and chips -eating chàvs and karens who have destroyed the country

As much as I hate to criticise a comment that demonstrates the nonsense of Brexit, but leaving the EU hasn't changed what countries the UK citizens can visit visa free. It obviously has removed our ability to reside in an EU member country and seek employment there, but visiting is still visa free.

@@andrewjones-productions From 2025, British citizens will need to hold an ETIAS visa waiver before visiting the EU. ETIAS is currently scheduled to launch in 2025. It is expected that when it is introduced that it will become mandatory soon after. Once the system is launched and is a necessity, passengers arriving from the eligible third-countries will need to have a valid visa waiver to enter the Schengen Zone. After ETIAS is launched, visitors to the EU from the UK must apply for a valid visa waiver before they travel. This must be obtained online and linked with a British passport with at least 6 months of validity remaining. Travellers must also indicate the country that they will visit first whilst in the EU. This is to confirm where the visitor’s passport will be checked and where they will enter the free travel area. Also, airport and port terminal staff will check passengers’ documents to ensure they have the correct authorisation to enter the EU before boarding flights or ferries. Not holding an appropriate visa waiver could result in being denied permission to board. Thanks to Uk being third country and Brexit.

@@andrewjones-productions it's placed restrictions on how long people can visit EU nations, and their rights there. That's significant

Poland is still the anus of Europe.

Dobrze że mam Niemiecki.

good for you

I have the brazilian and italian passaport

That's because 54% of Americans DO NOT have any passport, so they don't give a fuck

Oh my God I just came here to comment in the same thing. Do people still Watch TV like this?

because it would shame US. ;) 6th place with >20 countries better than USA

Simply because the US doesn’t like negative news towards something it can’t control

Since the 15th century, too.

You are privileged as most of your fellow citizens have no money to travel for leisure. Many travel to make some dimes and survive.

@@DrVictorVasconceloshow old do you think @realhawaii5o is? 😮

Portgual distribution passports everyone so you are one of them

Boo

I wonder if they have put BNO + SAR together. Hopefully not because these two passports are issued by two very different countries😊

Well,being ranked #4 instead of #1 means that British passport holders will now have to apply for visas to Afghanistan,Syria,Iran,Yemen and Russia? I think I can live with that! 😂

Do you really got to all 100+ countries. Some of these countries I will definitely not go due to sanitation or war related problems. So in a nutshell, this is like a pissing contest.

@@eyeofthetiger6002don’t forget China only Eu can travel visa-free

@@Cobra10027 not all EU countries, only a handful,7 in total to date so far on a trial basis.I believe the UK will soon be on that list since the Brits and Germans are the top 2 nationalities from Europe to visit China. But Brits can still travel to Hong Kong and Macau visa free. But as with all things with China everything is political and the UK and China are not exactly getting along swimmingly well at the moment so it may never happen.😂

Irisih dont even need a passport to go to the UK so it doesnt matter

Even as a non-Brit, Brexit enrages me. Britain relegated to a footnote in history by an attempt at a power grab. You'd think the Lords would have done something, but they proved how useless they are, just like the 2016 election proved how useless the electoral college is.

The Brexit bunch still think it's the European Union who are the cause of all their mental health problems.

its all these dumb fish and chips -eating chàvs and karens who have destroyed the country

@@DrVictorVasconcelos I am with you in spirit, but the scary part is the electoral college worked exactly as intended in 2016. Clinton won a lopsided majority, He Whose Name We Dare Not Voice (HWNWDNV???) had far broader national support. He didn't beat her...........she lost to That.

The UK has literally risen two places, and you twist that into a negative due to Brexit? That is peak cope if I've ever seen it

Kenya lol

Kenya is a very beautiful African country and an important tourists destination

@@DianaSuleiman , Indeed. Also, it's peaceful and Kenyans are so welcoming.

Not visa-free. It's just a visa by a different name.

I would love to travel to Kenya one day! It is an amazing country full of wonderful people :)

What passport do you have now?

😊

Yea believe there was a sale a few years back on eBay. I checked again and not on sale anymore and would now cost $50. I'll wait and hopefully will be at discount again

Whatever 😂 it's still a very powerful passport 😅

Well much more powerful than most other passports

lol what

So?

So?

But UAE is at the 1st position in Arton Capital's list

You have clear point than anyone else ❤😊😅😂😂

Don't get stuck in the mud, mate. Move on!

​@@arkofimaginationnever forget

It’s not an electronic visa. It’s more like US ESTA, a pre screening /authorisation scheme that can be applied instantly online.

It's the same for all the EU countries so why is it showing as visa on Henly for all the other EU countries but not for Spain? @@letitiaprincess1125

no such thing

Starbucks ⭐

Das ist wahrscheinlich das Beste. That's probably for the best.

There are multiple indexes, ranked according to slightly different criteria. Henley is just one. Try the Nomad Capitalist passport index, for example.

Together with Italy and Japan 🧐🧐🧐

Wow

How is that possible? Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship. Read up on the law, it'll tell you.

I'm half Japanese/American and was born with dual citizenship. It's a special case for us half Japanese.@@vincentalakija5515

@@vincentalakija5515 I’m half Japanese and was a dual citizen at birth. People like me are a special case.

@@Giminy Oh ok I see

LMAO Russian passport belongs in the garbage. Don't embarass yourself. And show it to anybody

siberian gulags visa free.. nice

I'm sorry for your country. Putin's right about one thing: the fall of the USSR caused a catastrophe big enough that made Russians vote for Putin.

@@DrVictorVasconcelos You are simply envious.

@@alexsilent5603 Oh...we thought he was being ironic...

The ill-mannered tourists are often the rich ones. The illegal immigrants are often well off in their countries, too. You don't invest US$2000 in a trip if you're struggling for cash.

​@@DrVictorVasconcelos You also don't risk prison time illegally seeking refuge in a different country if you are well off? 🤔

Not necessarily. While it's true that the poorest countries have the worst passports, it's more of a statement about the strength of democracy and rule of law than about technology or their economies.

what about USA then

Yet we are everywhere.

@@pawsmart6207😎

you're not that special mate

Most countries use a system of reciprocity. If you're not willing to give them visa-free access, they're not gonna give you either. And this is highly politicized due to bipartisan xenophobia, so even countries that are highly democratic and provide billions in tourist revenue don't get it from the US.

You funked that when you elected Trumpty.

It is just a question of not needing visas. Diplomatic relations. The US don’t seem to be good at it. They just impose. Hence why.

The entire premise is flawed. The best passport is not the one that enjoys the most visa free travel. It’s the one that affords you the right to live in a great country. Nicaraguans get visa free travel to Russia, for example.
