Sadly for Afghanis, I doubt they could actually use their passport to travel to the countries that freely admit them. Many of those countries are very remote and impossible to travel to without stopping in another country first.

Hey, Afghans can get a 30-day visa on arrival for Tuvalu! Didn't see any Afghans there, but I did see a number of them on Nauru.

That Nauru joke was rough but true.

Lots of countries offer visa free transit though, right? You usually don't need to even go through customs when getting a connection international flight.

Except not the US, which would make it hard for those Afghans to get their visa-free access to St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Even where you usually stay in transit area, the country may demand transit visa for certain passports (such as those on top of this quiz), which means the airline wouldn't allow you on the flight for starters.

I've only ever had to go through customs and therefore use my passport in transit when I was changing airports or I had an overnight layover somewhere.

So how exactly is the “Power” of a passport determined?

I guess, by the number of countries its holder can visit without having to get a visa in advance.

Would be interested to know which 50 countries allow citizens of North Korea and how many North Koreans have managed to get to any of them.

You can follow the link at the top of the quiz, then select "Compare", and you can find out which countries work for North Koreans. (For example, Tuvalu!)

Their independence is not universally recognized. Some countries allow the passport to be used while not recognizing the country, etc.

I imagine this matches more or less perfectly to "largest sources of refugees"?

Well, to be honest some of the people from the countries on the list don't bother using passports and just walk across national borders on their way to Germany, UK and Sweden.

True. However, covid has halted things and the EU has already been putting the brakes on migration both at home and abroad. Italy has been using their navy to prevent Africans from reaching the mainland and Greece has been stopping Syrians from crossing in through Turkey. Meanwhile Germany has even sent their military into Sub Saharan Africa to work with various leaders including some dictators who are known human rights violators by paying them and giving them newer technology to keep migrants out of Europe. Money talks.

Weird how Central African Republic isn't on this list.
