United States' Passport Ranked as World's Most Powerful

The United States has the world's most powerful passport, based on how many countries it allows citizens to access, investment opportunities and quality of life indicators, according to a new study.

The Global Passport Index was released by Global Citizen Solutions on Monday, scoring the passports through a quantitative scoring system.

The U.S. emerged as the world's strongest passport with a total score of 96.4, ranking fourth in the investment index, 10th in the enhanced mobility index and 23rd in the quality-of-life index.

Germany, Canada, The Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Norway, and New Zealand are among the nations that made the top 10 global passports.

The United States has a developed and diversified economic market as well as access to the most advanced and lucrative consumer market in the world. The U.S. has laid out opportunities for economic success, given the popularity of investment programs in return for a green card.

Casaburi said that the U.S. has many attractive visa solutions for expats looking to invest in America, such as the E2 Visa program. The U.S. Business Visa allows citizens to spend 90 days in the country for business ventures.

Global Citizen Solutions wanted to have each of the three indexes evaluated on their own so they could be ranked for their country. The World Bank, the World Economic Forum and The sustainable Development Report were included in the final list.

The widest-ever gap in travel freedom was revealed by the passport index released by Henley & Partners in October, as many of the countries with the most powerful travel documents have enacted the most stringent COVID-19-related travel restrictions.
