Singapore Now Has The World's Most Powerful Passport, Followed By Germany


Inhabitants of the tiny city state of Singapore have the most powerful passports in the world, it has been revealed.

But the usefulness of a US passport has fallen slightly since President Donald Trump took office, with Turkey and the Central African Republic becoming the most recent countries to revoke visa-free entry for holders.

A new ranking of world passports by website Passport Index found that citizens of Singapore can travel to the highest number of countries visa-free.

It took the top spot after Paraguay removed restrictions which had been in place for Singaporeans.
