Japan, Singapore and South Korea have the world’s strongest passports, according to a new ranking. Citizens of all three countries can visit 189 nations without getting a visa before travel, according to the latest Henley Passport Index. Advisory firm Henley & Partners, which ranks countries’ passport power, said the tie was a “resounding demonstration of Asia’s growing power and influence on the world stage”. Japan was previously ranked in sole first place in the 2019 Henley Passport Index.
