Owners of German passports enjoy the world’s highest travel freedom since they can visit 177 of 218 countries without a visa, according to the Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index.
The Index is a global ranking of countries according to the travel freedom that their citizens enjoy.
For more than a decade, Henley & Partners has analyzed global visa regulations to present an index ranking each country and territory in the world by the number of countries that their citizens can travel to visa-free.
The index is produced in cooperation with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which maintains the world’s largest database of travel information, and is published annually.
Countries are ranked according to the total number of other countries which they can access visa-free.
Greece ranked 7th in the 2016 list with visa free travel to 171 countries.
