With the countries literally opening up their doors as restrictions loosen in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, backpackers and globe-trotting Filipinos have the option to fly to these places without the need for a visa.

The Henley Passport Index, considered the authoritative ranking of all the world’s passports, has released its data for the third quarter of this year’s Global Mobility Report.

The Philippine passport ranks 80th out of the 199 passports in its Global Passport Ranking in 2022. Cape Verde Islands and Uganda also placed 80th.

Japan’s passport is the most powerful, followed by passports of Singapore, South Korea, Germany and Spain.

While “Pasaporte” is not as powerful as the previous countries mentioned, it is more powerful than the passports of India, Vietnam and Egypt, among others.
