VISA & MYANMAR PASSPORT

Do you know how many countries a Myanmar Passport Holder can visit without entry visa? I thought none until I read a report by a Zurich based firm Henley & Partners AG and which claimed to be the 1st global ranking showing international freedom of travel.

Umm... not as bad as we fare ahead of Afganistan, rank 195 with its citizen allowed travel to 12 countries without visa and Iran, 14 countries. So guess what! we could visit 15 countries( no idea which countries are)..

Denmark, Finland and US top the list with 130 countries, visa free entry and followed by Germany, Ireland & Sweden which their citizens could enter 129 countries without a visa.

Singapore fares far better than its ASEAN counterparts with 122 countries, rank 22. Amazing! Not because I am living and working down here and I said "Amazing". A City State, a small dot on the world map has come this far in international arena, I am really proud of its mighty. It puts all its larger counterparts to shame not just in this VISA power but many other aspects.

Well to conclude, Malaysia (22nd), Brunei (37th), Philippines (125th) and Indonesia (137th).

And I dont know whether it's related to this travel restriction, when I visited a friend's house warming ceremony last Sunday I overheard many of our classmates became Singapore Citizens. I wonder!
