What are the strongest and weakest passports?

◀️ If you hold a Japanese passport, congratulations to you, as you hold the most powerful passport in the world for the year 2020, but if your passport is Syrian or Iraqi, we regret to tell you that the ranking of your passport is the lowest in the world
◀️ The Henley Passport Index, which periodically determines the ranking of passports in the world, issued an update for the year 2020, in which the Japanese and Singaporean appeared in the first and second places, and the ranking of the American and British passports decreased significantly, in return for progress in the UAE ranking.

Let's start first with the arrangement of passports in the Arab world:
◀️ In 2018, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine, Libya, Sudan and Iran were ranked at the bottom of Henley's list, as citizens of these countries can enter the least possible number of countries around the world without a visa, and this situation did not change in 2019, and things did not get better in 2020.
◀️ Syrians are still able to enter only 29 countries without a visa like last year, Iraqis can enter 28 countries, Yemenis can enter 33 countries, and Libyans can enter 37 countries. As for the citizens of Lebanon, they enter 40 countries without a visa, Sudan is 37 countries, and Egypt, Algeria and Jordan allow their citizens to enter (49) (50) (51) countries, respectively.
◀️ We find that the status of the Turkish passport has improved compared to last year with a difference of only one country, as Turks can visit 111 countries in 2020 compared to 110 countries last year. While the Kuwaiti passport allows entry to 95 countries, and the Qatari passport allows entry to 93 The Bahraini passport allows entry to 82 countries, and the Saudi passport allows entry only to 77 countries.
◀️ As for the Emirati passport, it has achieved remarkable development during the past decade. The UAE has advanced 47 places during the past ten years, to occupy the eighteenth place in the year 2020, where its citizens can enter 171 countries without a visa, while the Emiratis were able to visit 167 countries without a visa. During the past year
◀️ In 2019, Japan and Singapore ranked first, as their passports allow entry to 189 countries without a visa, taking the lead from the German passport, which was the first in the world in 2018. By 2020, the situation in the two countries improved, as Japan became Its citizens were able to enter 191 without a visa, while Singapore, which ranked second this year, allows entry to 190 countries. It seems that Asia is dominant in the situation in 2020, as South Korea stands out in third place, and is tied with Germany, which also occupies the same position, Citizens of both countries can enter 189 without a visa.

◀️ The ranking of the American and British passport declined with the entry of 2020, the United States ranked eighth jointly with the United Kingdom, as the two countries' passports can enter 184 countries. Although the two countries allowed citizens to enter 183 during the past year 2019, they were ranked Sixth.
◀️ The Henley & Partner list is one of the indicators created to rank global passports, according to the number of countries that citizens of each country can enter. The Henley Passport Index is based on data provided by the International Air Transport Authority (IATA), and covers 199 passports, There are 227 travel destinations, and the list is updated throughout the year.
