According to the Passport Index, that honour now belongs solely to Singapore thanks to a recent decision by Paraguay to remove visa requirements for passport holders of the Asian city-state.
Developed by international residence and citizenship advisory firm Arton Capital, the Passport Index is a free online interactive tool that sorts and ranks the world’s passports by their cross-border access.
It says holders of a Singaporean passport can now easily visit 159 countries, either visa-free or by gaining a visa on arrival.
