- Passports can tell you a lot about a country. Colour can be a statement of national identity, state religion, or international co-operation. But not all passports are equal.

I love the woman's closing statement: "A low ranking passport limits your choices, but not your sense of adventure." This honestly put a smile on my face :)
Hello, Thanos. Are you trying to collect every passport in the world?
Haha hahaha 😂.. actually Thanos want to abolish the very definition of passport it self...😋☮️

Wolfgang Von Zubaz
According to CNN article, this ranking is true.
(in October 2018): www.cnn.com/travel/article/most-powerful-passport-henley-index-2018/index.html
Wolfgang Von Zubaz according to passport index, #1 is United Arab Emirates (167), #2 is Germany (166), followed by many countries with 165
@Wolfgang Von Zubaz Umm.. germany and Japan can travel without visa only 166 and 164 countries. And South Korea can travel 165 countries. Is it right?
Japan only number one now with 190 countries
Ya boi Luigi that is very old news.
The original comment is correct except that Japan is now on top with 190 countries.
The thing is, while the German passport is really powerful, we can’t get into some of the most powerful countries visa free; countries whose citizens can get into Germany itself visa free because of that Schengen area thing, which I think is quite unfair. Germans have to apply for a visa for e.g. Australia and the US (which are really attractive places for German tourists), but Australians and Americans can simply visit for a whoppin’ 90 days without having to go through that visa thing as well.
That's true, I'd also question the method for calculating passport power - let's say one passport allows visa-free travel to USA, Russia and China, and the other one provides visa-free access to USA, Tuvalu, Bhutan and Vanuatu.
According to the ranking of the video, the second passport would win (4 countries vs. 3), but it's obvious which of the listed countries are more popular for average tourist.
So, if we summed not just number of countries, but summed the popularity of each, the first passport would win.
Dave Flynn Exactly, that’s the flaw with the German passport as well.
We can travel to some small countries in the middle of nowhere which sounds nice at first, but considering that little to no Germans have ever been to those countries and that those countries on their own aren’t powerful either, it actually doesn’t make any sense to liken the power of those countries to the power of the world’s most influential and financially strong nations, as you already said. 🙌🏻
South Koreans' access to Australia, Russia and US is also visa-free.
War is Not a Game Exactly, this is what I’m talking about.
German passports have fake power.
The countries you can travel to visa free on a German passport are kind of a joke. It's appreciated, don't get me wrong, but like you said, German's don't have access to influential countries without having to apply for a visa.
The US made it a bit easier by introducing the ESTA program, so Germans can apply for it. It takes 10 minutes and costs $10 to be allowed to travel to the US without a visa obtained from the consulate. It's better than needing to go to the embassy, but it's still not visa free
When I travel from Finland to Estonia, they never even check if I have a passport nor any ID card with me. Same wise versa.
OMG, dude is the Shengen zone, you don't have any passport when traveling within it.
Just because they don’t check your document (on border-as we have Schengen) doesn’t mean you should be always able to prove you identity or visa status if not being eu resident :)
believe me. It does limit your sense of adventure.
If the colour of a passport is supposed to represent the country's national identity then the Canadian passport should be red, not blue.
The color is blue because Canada shares close ties to the US
The color indicates that is the part of the new world.
Just like the green passport indicates islam
and the red passport either the EU or communist countries
blue cause british was blue. easy
guess mexico is islamic now lol
To be fair, Canada is barely a country. More like a colony of the United States. Its economy is highly dependent on the U.S.
Well, as a South Korean, I though the Deutsche Reisepass was the strongest!

South kores passport is so powerfull that its owner isn't allowed in north korea
no one would even want to go there but its possible
Well, by the north korean law, all south korean nationals are also north korean national and vice versa. For example, north korean defectors are recognized as south korean citizen by south korean government so they don't really need "visa" to enter south korea. The other way around is also possible and it did happen some time ago.

As a Singaporean, I have to say that Singapore tries it's best to be friendly to all nations, both large a small. Singapore also tries to remain neutral in most, if not all, global conflicts. It's one of the reasons, Singapore was picked as a neutral nation for talks between Trump and Kim recently. It was also the location for talks between China and Taiwan.
Thank god im singaporean
It doesn't mean that you should visit ALL the countries. Just the fact that you're free to go wherever you want is amazing.
Visa stuff sucks...

From the perspective of someone from Singapore, most of us use our passports to go Malaysia (our most neighboring country), Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US. Most of us won't fully utilise the "power" of our passports. ✌🏻

I would argue that the most powerful passport would have to be an EU one, since it doesn't just allow access to all EU member states, but it allows one to live and work in any of those countries indefinately! That is so much more powerful than to be granted a free tourst visa for 30 days...

Care to state how?
according to passpoerindex.org , this is not true
I would question the method of calculating the power of particular passport from that ranking. It is very misleading. It only takes into account visa free access. It does not however take into account many other very important factors such as :
1) holders of particular passports may be banned completely to enter some countries e.g. Israeli passport which ranks high does not allow you to enter most of muslims countries in the world
2) how difficult, how long and how expensive is it is to obtain certain visa- some of them are just very simple to obtain- on arrival without any problem, some need months and tones of paperwork to obtain
3) how difficult is to obtain a passport- some countries severely limit or do not even allow most of their citizens to travel
4) certain passport allow their citizens not only to travel but also to settle in other countries without particular problems e.g. EU passports (which is in fact a real strength of the passport)
5) location, connections and how rich the citizens are- so real abilities of people to travel
6) foreign policy of the country- which may affect how the traveller is being treated in other country and how easily they can get help if necessary
Don't you have better things to do?
ah sir when a country gets a visa free access to another country it directly depends on the above mentioned traits. If a country is poor its passport will be weak and if rich strong passport.

"Britain joined the European union in 1973" funniest thing I've heard today
What's so funny about it? It is true, you know.
Interesting fact about the current British EU passport:
Russia has closed both the UK Consulate and the British Arts Council, so any British Citizens who have an issue that needs to be dealt with, obviously cannot get consular assistance in that country
....but there is another way.........
The British EU passport in this instance is more powerful, in this case, than you can imagine.
If you're an EU passport holder and a situation like this occurs, you can go to the consulate of any other EU member state for help. For example, British citizens can go straight to a German, Italian or even Polish embassy and get assistance through them.
After Brexit, we will lose our rights. Not just to freedom of movement but also our right to get consular assistance from another EU member state, if anything happens to a British consulate- anywhere in the world.
Food for thought...
thats shitty but i don't think you are likely to ever be in a situation like that to begin with

Count by number of nations is a little misleading.
It seems like Europe visa(like German visa) is as powerful as Singapore visa and south Korea visa if only count number.
But Singapore visa can enter China without visa and same situation when using south Korea visa to enter Russia. Both country are popular destination for tourism or business and only give very few countries in the world to enter without a visa. Their visa also need lots of documents.
And the most important thing is, whether you can travel around world mainly depends on your financial capability... Even you only have a very weak passport, you can easily get a visa easily if you can prove you are rich...
I also think is very misleading. Lots of passports rank high just because they can access visa free to insignificant island nations. Chile for example is in the top 50, but is the only country with South Korea that can enter visa free to both the US and Russia. They should assign points for the international relevance of the countries you can access visa-free.
exactly
And what is with the Swiss Passport?
Just seeing my country sharing number one with South Korea is very cool
Indian and Nepalis can enter both nations without any visa requirement.

Passport strength reflects how well that country is accepted and viewed by the global community. As a South Korean I am just so proud that we went from one of the poorest, war torn country in 1950s to this. We are a strong nation full of educated intelligent people 🇰🇷🔥

Thank you
