The U.K. is presently on the same rank.<\/p>\n<p>Nigeria, Africa\u2019s most populous nation, sits in 97th position.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Christian H. Kaelin, Chairman of Henley &amp; Partners, noted that the current standing ranking provides an opportunity to reflect on the upheaval that characterized 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust a year ago, all indications were that the rates of global mobility would continue to rise; that travel freedom would increase, and that holders of powerful passports would enjoy more access than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe global lockdown negated these glowing projections, and as restrictions begin to lift, the results from the latest index are a reminder of what passport power really means in a world upended by the pandemic\u201d, said Kaelin, the passport index inventor.<\/p>\n<p>Countries, ranking and destinations:<\/p>\n<p>Japan 1 \u2013 191<br \/>\nSingapore 2 \u2013 190<br \/>\nSouth
