With This Passport You Can Travel To 190 Countries Without Visa. Want To Guess? by davodyguy: 4:19pm On Jan 10, 2019
This is fresh gist according to 2019 Henley Passport Index.
https://www.henleyglobal.com/henley-passport-index/

All you have to do is to marry a citizen of the country to have the passport or be born in that country.
Let's Start guessing.
Many people would think it would either UK or USA.

UK? No
USA? No
French? No
Australian? No
Chinese? No
Indian? No
Russian? No
Nigerian? No




Japanese citizens hold the strongest passport in the world, followed by Singapore and South Korea, as Asian countries continue to dominate the world rankings.

Japan is in first place, with its citizens able to travel visa-free or obtain a visa on arrival in 190 countries, according to the 2019 Henley Passport Index.

Japan is followed by Singapore and South Korea in joint second place, whose citizens can visit 189 destinations without getting a visa before travel. Henley & Partners says that this is the highest position that South Korea has reached on the passport index, which is based on data from the International Air Transport Association (Iata).

The “continued dominance” of Asian countries in the passport index reflects the “extraordinary effect that international mobility and migration has had on the region”, said Henley & Partners, a citizenship advisory firm.

Germany and France are ranked in third place, with access to 188 destinations without a visa; while the US and the UK continue to falter, and now sit at joint sixth place with access to 185 destinations. It marks a significant fall from 2015, when American and British passports were ranked the strongest.

It’s a similar story to the United Arab Emirates. The country now holds 22nd place (but first in the Middle East), with citizens able to access 164 countries thanks to recently inked agreements with countries including Mexico, Japan and Sierra Leone.

The October 2018 introduction of Turkish e-visas has influenced the 2019 rankings, said the passport index, as citizens of more than 100 countries – Canada, the UK and the US among them – now have to apply for a visa in advance.

But hearteningly, the index said there had been an “overwhelmingly positive” trend towards visa openness and mutual agreements between nations since the index began 14 years ago.
