The Singaporean passport can enter 192 countries visa free, making it the #1 passport. The passports in 2nd position with 190 countries visa free are Germany’s, Spain’s, and Italy’s, however, those are self explanatory. EU + Schengen + big world powers. What did Singapore do to achieve that?
In: Other
1. Have good relations with other countries
2. Be rich thus making it extremely unlikely your citizens stay in a country illegally
Singapore is (a) rich, (b) not a global threat or prone to poor relations with other countries, and (c) authoritarian that doesn’t antagonize other authoritarians.
