How Good Is Your Passport

[@Ibby.M.I.786]

I agree with the South African Passport being in C Tier. The Cloverleaf Passport is like a winner anywhere, amazing. Thank you for providing us with this content Andrew and Nomad Capitalist Team, it's a priceless means of exploring our options when needed most.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We love being able to provide valuable content to help people explore their options and make informed decisions.

This video focuses on travel alone. I think another criteria to rank passports on, and one I honestly prefer, is the economic and residence (?) access offered by it. E.g. an EU passport lets you live and work anywhere in the EU or a passport from a NAFTA country (Mexico, USA, Canada) lets you work in all the other NAFTA countries (for certain in demand professions). So a Canadian passport would give you economic access to the US without citizenship based taxaction. I would rank a Canadian or EU passport higher than an Australian one for this reason.

[@jeremyleonbarlow]

I mean the Mexican Passport is really more like a Tier A-+ because it doesn't have visa free access to the US or Australia, nor China, and only an e-visa to Russia, but with an APEC Business Card it can get you access to Australia, China, Russia, Taiwan & Brunei amongst the Asian countries you can't already access. It has up to 180 days in Japan vs 90 for most countries, and under the NAFTA replacement treaty you can gain special visa access to the US and Canada with the right to work in both countries that is an alternative to an E-2 visa in the US which it also has available. When the Mexican economy improves just slightly and the Boomers in the US take their dirt naps, Mexico will likely have access on par with Canada because the racism will dissipate.

How do you even get an APEC Business card?

[@jeremyleonbarlow]

Colombian passport is actually good. It not only gives you visa-free access to the EU, UK, UAE, Russia, South Korea and Singapore but also allows you to travel to most of South America without a passport and legally settle there (with a pathway to citizenship)

[@manuelquiroga7994]

Both Colombia and Peru cleverly negotiated together visa free access to the EU and the UK and now are among the best passports in Latin America (solid B+, only surpassed by Brazil, Argentina, Chile and México). Ecuador missed out on this opportunity and thus remains as a tier C passport.

And, although highly controversial, Colombians have visa-free access to Israel.

Thank you Andrew!

[@Aidan_Au]

Thank you so much Andrew and the team for making this Passport Tier List video. "One is None. Two is One. Three is the new Two". I miss Andrew.

[@svensulzmann4282]

I feel one is enough more just adds unnecessary potential for complications.

[@NomadCapitalistRD]

Absolutely, Aidan!

[@Pipe_RS91]

At this moment, Colombia has visa-free access to the UK for 180 days.

[@mryardiedescendant]

Honestly, at the end of the day a passport is about proof of citizenship and the ability to enter the country that issued it. While visa-free travel is nice and convenient, it’s primarily about tourism. You can’t live long term, work, or study as a visitor. You go there to enjoy another culture, spend your tourist dollars, go sightseeing, and then after three or six months you have to go home or request an extension of stay/apply for a visa. When I enter the United States or Jamaica, they can’t tell me I need to leave after 90 days because I’m a citizen. All the other countries can.

I have Estonian passport, now over 10 years living in Åland/Finland I need to fix finnish passport just for make freely Real Estate business here in Archipelago Åland (here is special limiting laws otherways). We spend 3-4 winter months on Tenerife/Spain, and we have no desire travel to US or anywhere else anyway.

[@hammalamiri12]

Best passport is the Irish passport. Period. You can live and work in the EU , UK, visa free travel to most countries. Also less restrictions because it doesn’t have awful foreign policies like the UK and the US

[@manuelquiroga7994]

True.

[@timkellyD2R]

No the dangerous and authoritarian Irish policies are internal, not foreign.

There is mistake with Israel passport. Israel is on Visa waver for USA

[@svensulzmann4282]

I feel US citizenship granting a Tier A passport as stated by Andrew is great for all travel purposes I need. Of course there are many other Tier A countries but that doesn’t diminish the power of US passport.

[@ET76001]

Why would Eastern European passports be B tier? They have visa waiver to US, full rights across EU, special rights inside UK since brexit, same access to Asia, Australia as Western Europe passports… you should get your facts clearer

The United States passport isn’t that good anymore but of course it’s not but it’s not for the reasons y’all think it is.The usa government have been observing what American citizens have been doing,more and more of us are traveling abroad so they will make it more difficult for us to travel internationally and to do business with other countries.I mean sone people can’t even renew there usa passport without going back to the usa that’s really inconvenient.Ok again this shows the more we unattach ourselves from the usa jurisdiction the more complicated the usa government will make it for you,in the near future the United States government won’t allow us to bank with usa banks over seas anymore I know it’s coming.

[@svensulzmann4282]

How do you know that this is coming? Of course there are restrictions for US citizens what they can do abroad but that is hardly new. Other countries have restrictions too.

[@looseycanon]

Pretty sure, that's nonsense. How the hell would US government force a bank, that is NOT in their jurisdiction, to refuse a client? Usually, banks, even if they don't have separate brand in a foreign country, operate in that foreign country through daughter company, which is regulated by local, not US authorities. No man, this is not happening.
