The world's most powerful 'Singapore' passport

With Paraguay removing some visa regulations, Singapore citizens are the most powerful "passport" holders in the world.

According to Channel NewsAsia, the passport ranking on October 25 shows that Singapore's visa-free index is 159, more than one point compared to Germany. Previously, passports of these two countries held the first place in the ranking since the beginning of 2017.

Singapore became the "champion" after Paraguay exempted certain visa regulations from its citizens. The above score represents the number of countries where Singapore citizens are exempted from visa or can apply for a visa at their destination.
