Myanmar citizens hold one of the world’s least powerful passports, according to new rankings.
The country was one of four to get the lowest score in an interactive index released online by financial advisory firm Arton Capital.
The company used data from the International Air Transportation Agency and individual travelers to rank countries based on the number of places their nationals can travel to without a visa or by obtaining a visa on arrival. The result is a “passport power ranking.”
South Sudan, Sao Tome and Principe, the Solomon Islands and the Palestinian Territories share last place with Myanmar, whose passport power figure is 80. The highest ranking is 1.
Citizens of all four countries can visit only 28 other nations without a visa.
Brits and Americans, who hold the most powerful passports according to the index, can travel to 147 without any extra paperwork.
