The world’s most powerful passports for 2024, and AFRICA’s TOP 10: At its most functional, a powerful #passport facilitates the ease of #travel across #borders, unlocking economic opportunities, strengthening diplomatic ties, promoting cultural exchange, empowering citizens, and attracting global talent.

As the world becomes more interconnected, African governments acknowledge the potential benefits of investing in the strength of their passports.

Many African nations are actively striving to position themselves as significant players in the global geopolitical arena. This strategic positioning is seen as a means to contribute to the collective progress of the continent, and create bigger opportunities for their #citizens.

Furthermore, since June 2023, all #African countries, within the top 10 with the most powerful passports, have seen an increase in the strength of their passports. For instance, the #Seychelles passport now allows access to 156 countries, up from 153 in the previous year. Similarly, the #Tanzanian passport now offers entry to 73 destinations, compared to 71 mid-way through the previous year.

A noteworthy recent highlight is the mention of #Kenya and #Rwanda as the first major political and economic powers to offer completely visa-free access to international and continental visitors. This move aligns with the African Union’s objectives to promote free movement of goods, services, capital, and people across the continent, contributing to the integration of the continent’s over 1.4 billion people.
