According to a recent quarterly report from London-based global citizenship and residence advice business Henley & Partners, three Asian passports grant their holders more freedom to travel internationally than those from any other nation.

Japan’s citizens can travel to a record 193 countries without a visa or with one on request, just one more than Singapore and South Korea, whose nationals can freely visit 192.

Below the Asian top three, a glut of European countries sit near the top of the leaderboard. Germany and Spain are tied on 190 destinations, followed by Finland, Italy, and Luxembourg on 189.

New Zealand and the United States make an appearance at No. 7, alongside Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic.
