This year’s Henley Passport Index was released on 10 January 2024, revealing the world’s most powerful passports which grant visa-free access or or free visas on arrival to the most countries in the world. While South Africa won’t take first prize, it’s always interesting to see how many incredible countries the green mamba can access with relative ease.
The index results are based on data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) – and “enhanced by Henley & Partners’ research team.”
