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.

The lowest ranked passports come from Iraq (92 points), Pakistan (93 points) and Afghanistan (94 points).

The ranking is calculated based on the visa exemption index of each passport . This index is calculated by the number of countries where the passport owner can come without a visa or by entry to the airport entry visa; At the same time, the United Nations Development Program's Human Development Index (HDI) is used as a plus.

Last year, in another global passport rankings, Germany also ranked first with 177 out of 218 citizens the country could come without a visa.
