NEWS: SA in world's top 51 most powerful passports list

GoEuro, the European-based rail, air, bus and car search and booking engine, has ranked passports from 51 countries to uncover which nationalities' passports are the most useful when it comes to travel.



The survey ranked passports on visa-free access as well as the ease of obtaining the passport – which included factors such as the cost of a passport, the length it remains valid, and the amount of time a citizen must work to obtain the passport. "All factors were weighted and scored to produce the ultimate passport ranking," GoEuro said. South Africa is ranked 42nd out of the top 51 countries, down one spot from 41st in 2014. South African citizens have visa-free access to no fewer than 97 of the world's 194 countries.
