This ranking signals how a country is viewed, considering factors like low crime rates and historic alliances.

The US passport, historically one of the most powerful, is now ranked 12th globally, according to Henley & Partners' latest list.

A powerful passport hands you global mobility because it lessens the number of hoops you need to jump through to obtain that visa.
