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

Posted by msmash on Sunday October 14, 2018 @08:10AM from the how-about-that dept.

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.

Aint nobody gettin' in here without a visa, filled out in triplicate.
Except those pesky Kiwis, but we have been sending them back pretty sharply recently.
And there are so many other countries that charge us for nasty visas when they do not charge anyone else...
