Reply to comment by EcstaticComplaint733 in TIL Japan is considered the world's most powerful passport, with visa-free access to 193 countries. Singapore and South Korea are close behind with 192 countries. Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan are the least powerful, all with visa-free access to 30 or less countries. by grandlewis

It’s not actually 1, they swap some countries. Ex: Russia requires visa for Japan but not s Korea. Cayman Islands require visa from s Korea but not Japan. I’m sure there are more like that in Africa and Japan just netted out 1 less than s Korea. Interestingly enough, just based on the Russia swap, I would say s korean passport is actually more useful in real life.

Yeah you are right I mean I wonder which countries are visa free for Japan but not South Korea and vice versa.

I have a US greencard and S. Korean passport, and I've traveled quite extensively, never needed any visas anywhere I have gone.
