Arab nation ranks second in passport strength
The article focused on the decline of the American passport's strength since 2006, when it was among the world's strongest, but today ranks tenth, allowing entry to 180 destinations without a visa or upon arrival, placing it behind five other countries. Singapore tops the ranking with access to 192 destinations, followed by the UAE, Japan, and South Korea, which have seen significant increases in the number of countries they can visit over the past twenty years. The report explained that the strength of a passport reflects the country's overall well-being and the quality of its international relations. There is a positive correlation between levels of peace, diplomacy, and passport strength. However, there are exceptions, such as the United States, which has declined in the Global Peace Index despite improving its passport ranking. Data shows that the gap in freedom of movement between the strongest and weakest passports has widened considerably: Singapore's passport allows entry to 192 destinations, compared to 22 for Afghanistan. Over the past two decades, the number of accessible destinations for Afghans has increased from 12 to 22.
