A passport is the most essential travel document that we need irrespective of which place on the world map we wish to explore. The more effective is the passport that we hold, the more is the number of countries that we can travel to without any hassle. And so like every year, the \u2018Global Passport Rank 2017\u2019 report shared by the global financial advisory firm Arton Capital has declared that the Singapore passport is the world\u2019s most powerful passport<\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n

This is the first time in the history that an Asian country has topped in the global passport ranking, replacing the European\u2019s constant winners like Germany, and the USA. While Singapore came first, India pushed itself three notches higher, i.e. from the 78th position last year to 75th this year with a visa-free score of 51.<\/p>\n

Like every man has a woman behind his success, let\u2019s admit that Paraguay is behind Singapore\u2019s. By removing its visa requirements for the citizens, it has helped the Singapore passport<\/strong> to make it to the top of the Passport Index and break its old tie with Germany.<\/p>\n

It now holds a visa-free score of 159, which means the travelers with a Singapore passport<\/strong> now have access to 159 countries across the world, and can travel there anytime.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still startled and wondering how is the US passport not on the top of the chart, we all know whom to blame. And while India is on the 75th position, it is still above Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, which are much below on the list. So, let\u2019s not feel too bad about it either.<\/p>\n

A passport acts like a gateway to all the other countries you might wish to explore, and is a major requirement for crossing boundaries. To help everyone understand and to keep them informed, Passport Index, the world\u2019s most popular online interactive tool, collects, displays, and ranks the passports of the world after conducting a global survey of the same.<\/p>\n

The individual ranks to the passports are assigned only on the basis of their visa-free score (visa-free and visa on arrival) and the visa-free portion of their score in comparison to the visa on arrival\u2019s. If there\u2019s a tie between the numbers, the United Nations Development Programme Human Development Index is used for sorting out the rank.<\/p>\n
