Hungarian passport in the world’s top 10 strongest!
Change language:
Henley & Partners made a new list ranking the best passports. The Henley Passport Index has been updated for the first quarter of 2022.
A London-based consulting firm, Henley & Partners, made a new list ranking the best passports. The company has been making lists since 2006, writes Forbes.hu. Henley & Partners ranks passports based on how easily one can travel with the document. Another factor is the number of countries that require a visa if someone has a certain passport.
In 2006, an average traveller could have travelled to 57 countries around the world without a passport. This average has since risen to 107. Inequalities are also present.
For example, with a Japanese or Singapore passport, one can travel to as many as 192 countries. With a passport issued from Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria, travel without a visa is possible to only 30 countries.
The index does not take temporary restrictions into account, writes CNN. The news site further explains that “the Omicron variant shone a light on a growing divide in international mobility between wealthier countries and poor ones, pointing towards the tough restrictions introduced against mainly African nations that U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described as being akin to travel apartheid.”
Dear DNH, The same old article over and over again (just dates changed). Din’t you get it? No one cares in slightest about how ‘strong’ or otherwise the Hungarian or any passport is.
