THIS IS THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL PASSPORT; CHECK WHERE INDIA STANDS AT

According to the 2018 Henley Passport Index, Japan now has the most powerful passport on the planet, a key to visa-free travel to more destinations than Singapore and Germany.

The place in the survey got a fillip with Japanese citizens recently gaining visa-free access to Myanmar, bumping their access to visa-free or visa-on-arrival destinations to 190. Singapore's passport, which once held the index's top spot, has access to 189 as of now.

With the passports being predominantly ranked based on visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to destinations around the world, the Indian passport has secured the 81st rank with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 60 destinations.
