It’s not American or British. The United Arab Emirates passport is now the world’s most powerful, according to Passport Index Global Passport Ranking for 2019. This was followed by Singapore, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, and the Netherlands.

The United States ranked No. 14 in the 2019 index, with 116 visa-free countries. And the worst?

Afghanistan finished bottom of the Global Passport Ranking, with just 29 countries granting Afghans entry without obtaining an advance visa.

The six territories include Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong, Kosovo, the Palestinian Territories and the Vatican.

Nigeria has a mobility score of 50, this means that Nigeria’s passport can only have access to 23 countries that are visa free, 27 countries that will mandate a visa on arrival and 148 countries that require visas before entry.
