North Korean Passport Not Entirely Worthless

» by in: North Korea

Here is an interesting graph via NK Econ Watch that shows how valuable different passports are around the world to include North Korea:

According to the graph a North Korean passport isn’t totally worthless, you can actually visit 29 countries with it visa free.  A South Korean passport though can visit 144 countries visa free.

Also if you are wondering, this is what the inside of a North Korean passport looks like.

    Interesting list but a bit misleading. While citizens of Denmark are the winners, with visa free entrance to 157 countries places 2-10 are shared by some 24 contries. Finland, Ireland and Portugal make up 2nd place while Belgium, Germany, Sweden and The US round out the top 3.

    Of the two passports I hold Australia is alone at number 7 with 151 countries allowing visa free access, and New Zealand shares 8th place with Singapore at 150.

    I see from Stafford's list that Canada (154 countries) is just below the US (155) – I'm a little surprised; I have nothing against Americans but felt that Canada's boring ineffectualness might open more doors. I would like to know which two countries accept Americans without visas that don't accept Canadians. I say two because we can visit Cuba and Americans cannot – or could not – am I behind the times? Or, perhaps Americans can visit Cuba without a visa, the problem is explaining to officials when they return.
