Where does yours rank? 🛫

Despite the extended detour that summer took to arrive, the Netherlands has something massive to celebrate: having the third-most powerful passport in the WORLD! 🥳

According to the Henley Passport Index, which ranks nations according to the number of countries they have visa-free access to, the Netherlands is joint third, with visa-free access to 191 countries.

Joined by Austria, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, South Korea, and Sweden, it’s certainly in good company!

However, Asian nation Singapore officially nabs the crown with visa-free access to a whopping 194 countries. 👑
