Holders of British, Swedish or Finnish passports can travel to 173 countries without the need for a visa – more than any other citizens on Earth.


The results of the annual Henley visa restrictions index reveal that the more wealthy and politically stable a nation, the more freedom of travel its citizens enjoy.

The top nine countries on the list are in Europe. The index demonstrates that a country’s membership of the European Union has a direct effect on the ease with which its people can travel.

The citizens of politically unstable countries have the least freedom to travel without the need for a visa. The Afghan passport opens the doors to only 28 countries.
