The Heinz Passport Index released the global passport ranking in the third quarter. what do you think?

The Heinz Passport Index, also known as the Heinz Visa Processing Limit Index, is published by Heinz Consulting Management Company, ranking according to the number of countries where passport visa holders can be granted visa-free. According to the information provided by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the index is supplemented, upgraded and continuously improved by making full use of internal research and online data of open source codes, and is automatically updated throughout the year.

Henry Passport Index Henry Passport Index (commonly known as "HPI") ranks countries and regions in the world at will according to the travel situation of passport visa holders (non-diplomatic passport holders). The index value originated in 2006, when it was called Henry and Partner Visa Processing Limited Index Value (HVRI), and was revised to its current name on 20 18 1.

The platform of Henry & ampPartners brought 199 passports, calculated according to the total number of 227 travel destinations (countries and regions) in the world that holders can visit without a visa. The total number of travel destinations that a special passport visa can enter has become its visa-free "achievement". Generally speaking, if the holder of a special passport visa can enter the customs without a visa, or can enter the customs conveniently and quickly in the form of visaonarrival(visaonarrival) or ETA(electronictravelauthority), then the passport visa will get 1 point.

On the other hand, if the holder of a special passport visa wants to enter the customs, he must apply for a visa, or he needs to obtain a government-approved visa (e-visa) from the destination government department before entering the customs, then the score of the passport visa is 0. It can be seen that this research idea is well understood, although there are some unreasonable places, such as not considering the weight of different travel destinations (the United States has strict visa review, and the United States is a frequent travel destination; And almost no one wants to go to some weak countries with frequent wars. But in general, the Heinz passport index can reasonably consider the "recognition" of a country's passport.

At the data source level, the Heinz passport index is also quite authoritative. Every year, Henry &; The partner will cooperate with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to analyze the visa processing requirements of most countries and regions in the world according to the official data of its global database.
