According to a survey published by Henley and Partners, Nigeria is rated 90th on the list of countries with the most visa-free access to other countries.
Henley and Partners based their study on unique and authentic data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Nigeria, along with South Sudan, was ranked 90th in the survey, having visa-free access to only 46 sites.
According to the research, Nigeria is also placed fifth lowest among African nations with visa-free travel access, barely ahead of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Eritrea, Sudan, and Libya, all of which are facing terrible violence.
Seychelles is the highest-ranked African country, ranking 24th having access to 155 countries.
Mauritius scored 29th, with access to 148 countries, whereas South Africans may visit 106 countries without a visa, ranking 51st. Both countries came in second and third place on the African continent.
Singapore topped the list, knocking Japan out of third place for the first time in five years.
According to the research, Singaporeans can visit 192 of the world’s 227 visa-free vacation locations.
Germany, Italy, and Spain have all moved up to second place with visa-free access to 190 places, while Japanese passport holders, along with those from Austria, Finland, France, Luxembourg, South Korea, and Sweden — all in third place — enjoy visa-free access to 189 destinations.
Both the United Kingdom and the United States jointly held first rank on the index nearly ten years ago in 2014, but have subsequently fallen to fourth and eighth place, respectively.
Afghanistan remains at the bottom of the table, with a visa-free access score of just 27, followed by Iraq with 29, and Syria with 30 – the world’s three most vulnerable passports.
