The German passport took the No.1 spot as the world’s most powerful passport, whilst Singapore’s passport ranks second.
Third place on the list is shared by Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden and the UK with visa-free travel to 175 countries.
The Henley Passport Index, based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), is the most rigorous and sophisticated measure of global access and ranks all passports of the world according to the number of countries their holders can travel to visa-free.
The Croatian passport currently can access 155 countries visa-free. The German passport can access 177 countries visa-free.
