In a surprising shake-up, the United Arab Emirates has replaced
Singapore as having the most valuable passport in the world.
At the start of November, four new countries were added to its
visa-free list bringing the total to 167.
Singapore (167) and Germany (166) round up the top three, with the
top of the list dominated by European countries.
While South Africa ranks 44th on the overall list, it has shown
steady annual improvements â€` rising to 94 countries in 2018 from
90 countries at the end of 2017.
This number could increase even further in 2019 as the Department
of Home Affairs plans to implement a range of visa changes to
encourage foreign investment and travel.
South Africa is negotiating visa waiver agreements for ordinary
passport holders with a number of countries, as well as
simplifying visa requirements for countries such as China and
India.
This may result in reciprocal arrangements which could see these
countries lower the requirements for South African tourists.
These countries include:
• Algeria;
• Egypt;
• Morocco;
• Sao Tome & Principe;
• Tunisia;
• Saharawi-Arab Democratic Republic;
• Ghana;
• Saudi Arabia;
• United Arab Emirates;
• Qatar;
• State of Palestine;
• Iran;
• Lebanon;
• Bahrain;
• Oman;
• Kuwait;
• Belarus;
• Georgia;
• Cuba.
