Singapore, Japan and South Korea share joint title in having world’s most powerful passport

After repeated tussles of who gets to sit on the throne, the seat of power in the world’s passport index is currently being shared by not one, not two, but three Asian countries: Japan, Singapore, and South Korea.

Henley & Partners Chairman Dr. Christian H. Kälin attributes Asia’s dominance on the index to a worldwide shift towards more open policies.

Myanmar was pinpointed as having the least powerful passport in the region, holding the 91st spot globally.
