イギリスの会社が「世界で一番強いパスポート」のランキングを発表しました。
A British company has announced a ranking of the “world’s most powerful passports.”
。
In this ranking, the United States has dropped out of the top 10 for the first time.
。
American passport holders can travel to 180 countries without a visa, while Singaporean passport holders can travel to 193 countries.
。
Japan used to be in second place, but this time it has dropped to third.
。
Why does the power of a passport differ depending on the country?
。
This indicates the degree of freedom that citizens of that country have to travel abroad.
。
For example, people with a South Korean passport can travel to 190 countries without a visa.
。
The United States is currently ranked lower than Lithuania and Iceland.
。
The reason Americas ranking has dropped is because it does not allow visa-free entry for many countries.
。
Americans can travel to 180 countries, but there are only 46 countries whose citizens can enter the United States without a visa.
。
Therefore, the power of American passports is weakening.
。
The top of the rankings is Singapore, followed by South Korea in second place and Japan in third.
