With Nigerian Passport, how many country could you travel to in Africa?
better to travel to other African countries without a passport than use a Nigerian passport. fellow Africans will attack you for no reason because they are jealous of Nigerians

The information we used for this ranking is according to the latest Henley Passport Index. The ranking is based on the number of destinations their holder can access without a prior visa. The ranking is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which maintains the world’s largest and most accurate database of travel information.

This is how it is calculated:

For each travel destination, if no visa is required for passport holders from a country or territory, then a score with value = 1 is created for that passport. A score with value = 1 is also applied if passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival, a visitor’s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) when entering the destination. These visa-types require no pre-departure government approval, because of the specific visa-waiver programs in place.

Where a visa is required, or where a passport holder has to obtain a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure, a score with value = 0 is assigned. A score with value = 0 is also assigned if passport holders need pre-departure government approval for a visa on arrival, a scenario we do not consider ‘visa-free’.

The total score for each passport is equal to the number of destinations for which no visa is required (value = 1), under the conditions defined above.

In a nutshell, some passports are more powerful and hence offers more freedom.

Below are the world’s most powerful passports in 2018.

It’s cool you note that some positions have ties.


1. Japan:

With the Japanese passport, you can comfortably travel to 190 destinations around the world.


2. Singapore, South Korea:

For the second most powerful passport in the world, there is a tie between Singapore and South Korea. With these two Asian passports, you can travel to 189 destinations around the world.

you people should stop this imagine this country and that country Czech Republic is not in same category with Nigeria, Czech have their own car skoda which you know they build and export small light planes and military hardware ,if you want to grade Nigeria look for countries like Cameroon Sudan Mali burkina faso and other third world countries ,to be a powerfull is not by size of your country but what your country can do afterall after all Nigeria is bigger than south Korea both in landmass and population 5times but their economy is bigger than ours 2 to three times
