The Australian passport is one of the world's most desirable when it comes to visa-free travel. Here's how powerful it is.
Japan has again topped the Henley Passport Index, with its citizens having visa-free access to 193 destinations.
The Index is compiled by London-based investment migration consultancy firm Henley & Partners, which uses data from the International Air Transport Authority to compare the visa-free access of 199 nations' passports to 227 destinations. There are more than a dozen destinations in Oceania that offer visa-free travel to Australians, including New Zealand, Fiji, and French Polynesia, and similar numbers in the Caribbean, including Barbados, the Cayman Islands, and Jamaica.Nineteen places in the Americas don't require Australians to have a visa to enter, such as Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, along with twelve African nations, including Botswana, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Two regions have just one destination which requires Australian tourists to have visas - Cuba in the Caribbean, and Nauru in Oceania - while Asia has 10, including Afghanistan, China, and North Korea.
