全球護照哪家強?日本護照含金量最高 中國護照升值最快

According to the Henley Passport Index, compiled by global citizenship and residence advisory firm Henley & Partners Citizens, Japan now has the most powerful passport on the planet.

根據全球公民和居住諮詢公司Henley & Partners Citizens編纂的亨利護照指數，日本護照現在是全球最強大的護照。

Having gained visa-free access to Myanmar earlier in October, Japanese citizens can now enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to a whopping 190 destinations around the world -- knocking Singapore, with 189 destinations, into second place.

10月初，日本護照獲得緬甸免籤後，日本公民現在可以在全球190個國家和地區享受免籤或者落地籤，將擁有189個免籤和落地籤目的地的新加坡擠到了第二名。

Germany, which began 2018 in the top spot, is now in third place with 188 destinations, tied with France and South Korea.

2018年初，第一名還是德國的，現在德國、法國以及韓國同居第三，均有188個免籤和落地籤目的地。

Uzbekistan lifted visa requirements for French nationals on October 5, having already granted visa-free access to Japanese and Singaporean citizens in early February.

烏茲別克斯坦在2月初的時候允許日本和新加坡公民免簽入境，10月5日又對法國公民取消了簽證要求。

South Korea gained visa-free access to Myanmar on October 1, while Paraguay removed visa requirements for Singaporean passport holders in 2017.

韓國在10月1日獲得了緬甸免籤，而巴拉圭在2017年對新加坡公民移除了簽證要求。

The United States and the UK, both with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 186 destinations, are in fifth place. With neither having gained entry to any new jurisdictions this year, it seems unlikely that either will soon reclaim the No.1 spot they held in 2015.

同樣擁有186個免籤和落地籤目的地的美國和英國並列第五名。由於今年這兩個國家都沒有新進展，這兩個國家要想重歸2015年的巔峯似乎有點難了。

The United Arab Emirates is the decade's biggest success story when it comes to travel freedom. It's risen from 62nd place in 2006 to now being No. 21 in the rankings.

論及旅遊自由，阿聯酋絕對是10年來最成功的國家。它從2006年的第62位上升到了現在的第21位。

It's also signed a visa-waiver agreement with Russia in July, due to come into effect in the coming months.

今年七月，阿聯酋和俄羅斯簽訂了免籤協議，很快就會生效。

China recently obtained access to Myanmar and is now in 71st place, having climbed 14 places since the start of 2017.

中國近期獲得了緬甸的免籤權，目前位列第71位，較2017年初上升了14位。

Christian H. K?lin, Group Chairman of Henley & Partners, commented in a statement on "the extraordinary results that states can achieve when they work hand in hand with their global peers to build a more interconnected and collaborative world.

Henley & Partners的集團董事長克里斯蒂安·H·凱林在一則聲明中評論道：“這種傑出的成績是因爲國家之間攜手共創一個更加互聯合作的世界。

"China and the UAE exemplify this kind of progress, with both states among the highest overall climbers compared to 2017, purely as a result of the strong relationships they have built with partner countries around the world."

“中國和阿聯酋印證了這一進展，較2017年他們的名次上升幅度最大，這完全是因爲這兩個國家和他們在全球的夥伴國之間建立起的牢固關係。”

Joint last place on the updated Henley Passport Index list are Afghanistan and Iraq, with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 30 jurisdictions, just below Syria and Somalia (32) and Pakistan (33).

在最新的亨利護照指數排行中位居末位的是阿富汗和伊拉克，能免籤和落地籤的國家和地區只有30個，並列倒數第三和倒數第五分別是敘利亞和索馬里（32個目的地）以及巴基斯坦（33個目的地）。
