Twenty-one (21) Countries, unfortunately, belong to the lower percentile for the World Passport Ranking. Germany has the strongest edge over the rest of the world, even greater ground compared to the United States and the rest of Europe.
The best passports offer the greatest comfort to global travelers however, the countries in the bottom ten should see this as a stepping stone to increasing global awareness, strengthening local and foreign policies and creating sustainable global linkages.

Objectivity-wise, each country sets its own foreign policies in line with local and international relationships and its the country’s prerogative on which nations they allow VISA-FREE travel. VISA-FREE travel means a lot to someone who wants to take millions of photos and write the best captions one after the other. VISA-FREE means letting go of those queues just to get grilled by Immigration officers and present travel money. Afghanistan, for example, was involved with Al Qaeda and it is evidently a blinking red buzzer button to the world’s fight against terrorism.
Terrorism, alongside criminality and local policies, makes up the list of “other” factors to include or reject VISA-FREE petitions. Romance scams make African countries infamous to other nations like USA, South Korea and Japan. Flagged as the farm gate of scammers, the list speaks for itself in a hundred fold.
Among the 21 countries, 52% comes from Asia, 43% from Africa and 5% from Europe. In Asia, 23% of its countries including North Korea and the Islamic nations are less preferred by most of the nations ; 17% in Africa and 2% of European countries.
