Japanese Passport Now World's Most Powerful (cnn.com)

According to the Henley Passport Index, compiled by global citizenship and residence advisory firm Henley & PartnersCitizens, Japan now has the most powerful passport on the planet. From a report: Having gained visa-free access to Myanmar earlier this month, Japanese citizens can now enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to a whopping 190 destinations around the world -- knocking Singapore, with 189 destinations, into second place. Germany, which began 2018 in the top spot, is now in third place with 188 destinations, tied with France and South Korea. Uzbekistan lifted visa requirements for French nationals on October 5, having already granted visa-free access to Japanese and Singaporean citizens in early February.

EU passport

This rating is only for visa-free travel. Passport of the EU country doesn't only give you visa-free access to the majority of countries but also a right to live and work in any of the 28 member states. That should be really top rated but it isn't. (and yeah, good bye UK, you got what you deserve for your ultimate stupidity)

I wonder what sort of Bribes are involved in getting a Transnistrian Passport?

For $100k you can buy a St Kitts passport that will give you visa free access to the UK.

25% of St Kitts' GDP comes from selling citizenship.

If there is no deal the British citizens could need some kind of visa or pre-check to visit the EU.

There are other benefits we will likely lose either way, such as access to EU healthcare systems on a reciprocal basis. No need to get travel health insurance, just a free EHCI card at the moment.

No deal will have other severe travel consequences, such as UK based airlines losing approval to fly in the EU and British citizens with family members from the EU being torn away from them until they can arrange further visas, which is currently almost impossible for many in the UK.
