Singapore’s passport ranks sixth best to travel with

Singapore’s passport ranks sixth as the best to travel with because it allows holders to access 167 countries without applying for a visa.
 
The city-state shares the rank with Greece, and stands ahead of South Korea by one spot — the country's citizens have visa-free access to 166 countries.
 
Neighbouring Malaysia holds the number nine spot with visa-free access to 163 countries.
 
Three countries share the number one spot and they are Finland, Sweden and United Kingdom while the passport with the least number of countries its citizens can access is Afghanistan. Those holding the Afghanistan passport are only allowed to enter 28 countries without a visa.
 
The ranking results come from Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index, which is a global ranking of countries according to the visa-free access its citizens enjoy.
 
The ranking shows the international travel freedom of the citizens relative to those in other countries. The ranking also reflects the relations and status of a country within the international community.
