While European countries made up the majority of the top 10 in this year’s Henley Passport Index, Singapore clung onto the number one spot for the second year in a row.
Three countries tied for second place – Japan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates – with visa-free access to 188 destinations, compared to Singapore’s 192.
The index, which uses data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on how many destinations passport holders can visit without applying for a visa in advance, is now in its 20th year.
Sweden came in third place, with access to 187 countries. Just below them, with access to 186 destinations, were Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain.
Rounding out the top five were Austria, Greece, Malta, Portugal and Switzerland.
