As countries around the world shift their border control to a higher level of safety, the strength of their passports are changing, too. The list of the “best” passports has been compiled by a London-based consulting firm since 2006 and ranks nations by how freely their citizens can explore the world. In other words, countries you can travel to without a visa.
While the USA ranked top in 2014 and 2015, this year it has dropped to fourth place. Countries are most likely afraid of the impending Trump rule that will have US citizens seeking refugee status from February next year.
Anyways, in first place is Germany, but are you even surprised? Countries obviously want to get into their good books because, well, they are pretty much dominating the world right now, just not in the way Hitler envisioned.
With a German passport, travelers can enter 177 out of 218 countries and territories without a visa, according to the 2016 Visa Restrictions Index.
