Pretoria – Seychelles, Mauritius and South Africa are the top three African countries on the Henley Passport Index.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The index ranks world passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa, thus measuring travel freedom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Seychelles was ranked at 26, Mauritius at 32 and South Africa at 56, the organisation’s index, released on Tuesday, showed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Japan\u00a0secured the top spot\u00a0with a visa-free\/visa-on-arrival score of 191. Singapore held onto second place at 190, while South Korea dropped down a rank to third place alongside Germany, giving their passport holders visa-free\/visa-on-arrival access to 189 destinations worldwide.<\/p>\n

The index was compiled using data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and enhanced by research from the Henley & Partners Research Department.<\/p>\n
