Most powerful passports in the world: 5. Spain 4. Luxembourg 3. Finland 2. Singapore No. 1 is not America...
The United Arab Emirates was No. 1 for passports with the most mobility for citizens, according to the latest compilation by the “Global Passport Ranking,” created by Arton Capital a Montreal–based organization that helps high-net-worth clients gain second citizenship and/or residency.
And the worst for traveling to other countries? Afghanistan ranked at the bottom of the list, and came in just below Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Eritrea, Libya, North Korea and Iran. Here’s a complete list of the latest Global Passport Index. The Human Rights Watch has roundly criticized the UAE for “intolerance of criticism, including the imprisonment of activists accused of insulting the country’s rulers and disrupting public order.” The HRC specifically mentioned the detention of Ahmed Mansoor.
The U.S. provides the UAE and Saudi Arabia — which admitted to the killing and dismembering of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi embassy in Turkey last year — with modest military support in their war in Yemen, which the United Nations calls the “world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”Other rankings like the “Nomad Passport Index” are based on visa-free travel , taxation , perception , dual citizenship potential and overall freedom . That ranks Luxembourg No. 1, Switzerland No.
