INFLUENTIAL PASSPORTS

Added on: 1st Apr 2016

 

NETHERLANDS

Number of visa free countries – 172

Netherlands

The Netherlands’ highly advanced economy and the standard of

living make the Dutch passport a very nice asset.

 

 

CANADA

Number of visa free countries – 173

Canada

Along with Denmark, Canadians enjoy visa free access to

173 countries. So why is it behind the Danish? Once again, the

EU provides Danish citizens with much more freedom of movement.

 

 

DENMARK

Number of visa free countries – 173

Denmark

Enjoying the benefits of EU membership as well as good

international standing, the Danish have a very desirable passport.

 

 

UNITED KINGDOM

Number of visa free countries – 174

United Kingdom

We have now reached the home stretch. The rest of the countries

on this list all have passports that allow visa free access to

174 other nations. So what put the UK slightly behind? The main

reason is its potential exit from the EU. The rest of countries on

this list are either more integrated EU members or they are so

massive that they provide far more opportunities within their borders.

 

 

FINLAND

Number of visa free countries – 174

Finland

So Finland comes next. Given that the rest of the countries

(except for the US) are EU members, that couldn’t be used to

distinguish them. It was the climate, remoteness, and lack of

lifestyle choice that pushed Finland back.

 

 

SWEDEN

Number of visa free countries – 174

Sweden

Once again, similar factors to Finland pushed Sweden below the

rest of the countries, but compared to Finland, Sweden is bigger

and offers more in the way of lifestyle options.

 

 

GERMANY

Number of visa free countries – 174

Germany

The largest economy in Europe makes a German passport

desirable in and of itself. Membership of the EU is the

cherry on top of the cake.

 

 

UNITED STATES

Number of visa free countries – 174

United States

Although it is not a member of any free movement union like the

EU, the United States accounts for 25% of the world’s GDP.

Such size and diversity push the US passport to the top of the list.
