Dutch passport fourth most valuable in the world

NL Times  

The Dutch passport is the fourth most valuable in the world, according to the Henley Passport Index for 2022. The index ranked 199 different passports based on how easily a person can travel with one of them to 227 different destinations, based on data from the International Air Transport Authority. This year the firm noted that travel restrictions introduced due to the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the broadest global mobility gap it's ever seen, CNN reports. The travel bans wealthy countries imposed on predominantly African nations after South Africa identified the Omicron variant late last year shone a light on the growing divide between more prosperous countries and poorer ones, the firm said in its latest report. Passport holders from South Africa, the highest African country ranking in 51st place, can travel to 104 countries visa-free.
