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!

Just as I posted that I understood. That last line is a bit confusing and seems out of place in my opinion. Saying the US passport is in second place by one country would be clearer I think :)

If there are three countries in joint first place, wouldn't the next country/ies be in (joint) fourth place?

That would be Cuba, I'm guessing.

No. US citizens are welcome in Cuba. It's the US rules that ban you. But that counts for nothing so long as you go via another country first.
Hurrah! Quoting works now!

Tis true. Fly to Mexico, Bahamas, ect. Or even be sneaky about it and fly to Canada, those flights usually they have a stop in the US, just be careful and not leave the plane. It's a pita, but way to stick it to the man!

It is a three tie for #1, so #2 and #3 are also gone.
USA is in a four way tie for #4.
And so the next level down starts with #8.

Sorry Kaszz - it was my mistake. I was editing 2 versions of the same story and got distracted. Unfortunately, I posted the incorrect version!
I am not interested in knowing who people are or where they live. My interest starts and stops at our servers.
