Exclusive Travel Privilege for Three
The special status includes only three individuals worldwide: King Charles III, Emperor Naruhito of Japan, and Empress Masako, who can travel without the need for a passport. King Charles III has refrained from using a British passport since the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022, and he is issued a special document that allows him to travel freely. As for Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, they enjoy a special status in Japan, whereby they do not need passports when traveling abroad, according to a document issued in 1971, which considers issuing passports to the Emperor or Empress as inappropriate. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs must notify other countries in advance of their visits. The rest of the Japanese Imperial Family continue to use diplomatic passports, and traveling without a passport remains a rare exception that applies only to these three individuals.
