The passport to have if you want to avoid complicated visa requirements is a British, Finnish or Swedish one. These passports gives the right to admission into 173 countries without visa or with a simplified visa at arrival according to the British consulting bureau Movehub. Second place is passports from Denmark, Luxembourg, Germany and USA with 172 countries. The passport that gives the least amount of freedom of movement is the Afghan, that gives the right to admission without visa or simplified visa into 28 countries.

However, the US passport is only marginally behind the top 3 - by 1 country!

    Reminds me I have to renew my almost decade old one. I've heard they've turned that into a PITA worse than getting a drivers license. True? False? Stories?

    Not if you don't let it lapse.

    No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

    I renewed both of mine a couple of months ago, at the height of the "scandal" (as I was down to 1 page in 1 and 2 pages in the other). Made an appointment for a day I was in London, walked in to the office at 11AM at Victoria, out before 12, £270 lighter. They were supposed to be ready for 4PM, but got a call at 3PM saying a system crash and they wouldn't be ready on time. They were eventually ready for collection at 1945.

    I cannot believe Canada is lumped in with France.
