Is 81st Most Powerful In The World!

 
It’s always tricky to answer as to why some passports are more powerful than others. But, alas, some are deemed to be superior to help you through the trials and tribulations of life, and in particular the visa.
 

The passport index just released a list for most powerful passports and this year, Germany bagged a clear win! According to this index, German travelers hold the world’s strongest passport and can visit the most countries without needing to apply for a visa
 
As much as 157 countries offer Germans either visa-free access or a visa on arrival, making citizens of the central European nation the most privileged passport holders on the planet.
 
 
The UK shares third place with fellow EU members Denmark, Finland, France, Spain as well as Switzerland, Norway and the United States.
 
 
The index was updated last week to replace South Korea with Singapore as Asia’s strongest passport.
 
At the bottom of the ranking lies Afganistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria.
The Indian passport has been ranked 81 in a global ranking of the world’s most powerful passports.
 
 
Also, as for the countries that Indians can travel to without a visa, the count is 40+. This figure includes 21 countries where an Indian can travel visa-free and 25 countries where the citizen can utilize the visa-on-arrival option.
