The world passport index allows you to verify entrance requirements to the other countries of the world for whatever passport(s) you hold. Just click on the box of your nationality in the right hand column and then click on "compare." You can compare up to four nationalities and some of the differences can be surprising.

In the travel industry we learned that no list is ever up to date and for certain countries must be checked just about every day. And yes, the only word of authority is the country itself. Unfortunately, immigration agents checking passports often do not know the rules either. Anybody who has travelled a lot generally has more than one anecdote to tell about the various resulting incidents.

A new passport index has been published. It hasn't changed much since the last one. Singapore has the most powerful passport in the world, followed by Germany. The worst passports to have in the world are Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. World Passport Index 2017 |

WoW - are we far down the list at 93. Not surprised really. We shouldn't be giving out passports to all who can give us a back-hand...
Can't believe we beat Qatar and Kuwait - those holy than holy, (don't dare steal anything), countries.

The EU didn't however follow through on its threat to require visas for US passport holders prompted, if I remember, by the US requiring visas from a couple of the eastern EU members. I've never had to get a visa, which tells you I guess I haven't been a very adventurous traveler.

I used to have to get visas all the time because I was flying standby and I wasn't sure how I might be routed. I have even had visas to Iraq and Sudan although I never went there.

For many years I had two passports so I could be travelling on one whilst the other was dormant or getting visas for places I would be going next. Unfortunately at the last round of renewals they asked me to prove I still needed two and as I couldn't, I had to hand one back.

Here is a new and interesting passport index. You can even check your passport by colour. Passport Index |

Thanks for that ~ quite illuminating.
Coincidentally, I just read The Guardian story about Britain getting new blue passports. Many Brits are dreading it & anticipating being stuck in much longer lines at travel points.

Including some like a British woman who got caught in a long line at Schipol in Amsterdam and bitched that she hadn't voted Leave for that!
