The Global Passport Ranking 2020 ranks every nationality in the world for the number of countries they can visit visa-free – and the US doesn’t even make the top 20

It’s not British or American – Japan’s passport is now the world’s most powerful, according to CEOWorld Magazine’s Global Passport Ranking for 2020. This was followed by Singapore, South Korea, Germany, Italy and Finland.

The United States ranked No 21 in the 2020 index, with 184 visa-free countries. And the worst?

Afghanistan finished at the bottom of the Global Passport Ranking, with just 26 countries granting Afghans entry without obtaining an advance visa.
