The Japanese passport has been ranked the most powerful passport in the world with citizens enjoying visa-free/visa-on-arrival access to 190 destinations. According to the Henley Passport Index which depends on data provided by the International Air Transport Authority (IATA), Nigeria gained visa-free access (net-free access) to three new countries, bring its visa-free access to 47 countries. Speaking on the methodology of the ranking, Henley said: “For each travel destination, if no visa is required for passport holders from a country or territory, then a score with value = 1 is created for that passport. “A score with value = 1 is also applied if passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival, a visitor’s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) when entering the destination. These visa-types require no pre-departure government approval, because of the specific visa-waiver programs in place. “Where a visa is required, or where a passport holder has to obtain a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure, a score with value = 0 is assigned. A score with value = 0 is also assigned if passport holders need pre-departure government approval for a visa on arrival, a scenario we do not consider ‘visa-free’.” Cambodia * Maldives * Timor-Leste * Benin * Burkina Faso Cameroon Cape Verde Islands Chad Comores Islands * Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Djibouti * Gambia Ghana Guinea Guinea-Bissau Kenya * Liberia Madagascar * Mali Mauritania * Mauritius * Mozambique * Niger Rwanda * Senegal Seychelles * Sierra Leone Somalia * Tanzania * Togo Uganda * Cook Islands Fiji Micronesia Niue Palau Islands * Samoa * Tuvalu * Vanuatu Barbados Dominica Haiti Montserrat St. Kitts and Nevis Bolivia* Iran * Lebanon * Countries with asterisk require visa on arrival.]]>
