If you have Swedish nationality, you have a lot of traveling power – Swedes can travel to 187 countries without a visa. This makes international travel cheaper and easier for citizens of many other countries. Citizens of Afghanistan can travel to 30 countries without a visa.

These differences are revealed by the passport index, which ranks countries by the number of nations where residents can enter without a visa or obtain an arrival visa . Citizenship planning firm Henley & Partners has compiled government data from 200 countries, territories and micro-states to create the 2018 ranking, which the company has updated this week.

Here are the 21 countries with the highest ranked passports. Many of these nations are linked, which is why we start in fifth place.
