What's the world's most powerful passport in 2019?
Which country has the most powerful passport in the world in 2019?
According to the 2019 Henley Passport Index, Japan – for the second year in a row.
The Japanese passport offers visa-free travel to 190 destinations, beating out Singapore and South Korea, which tied in second place and France and Germany, which ranked third.
So where does a United States passport rank?
With access to 185 destinations, the U.S. passport is tied in sixth place alongside Austria, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
This is a slip back from the America's fifth place ranking last year, and a major step down from 2015, where the U.S. and the U.K. tied as the most powerful passports of that year.
