What defines a "powerful" passport?
- stevenjohns 9y agoThere are indexes[0] which categorise passports in what can be loosely defined as "powerful." Some of these things may include not having to apply for a visa before entering a country (i.e visa-on-arrival or visa-free entry), cheaper visa costs or even free visas if they're required. The New Zealand passport[1] is a good example (although not necessarily the best) of a "powerful" passport in this regard. Compare this to a Syrian passport[2] (extreme example) or a Colombian passport[3] (moderate example).
