The most powerful African passports to have

[MK254]

Citizens of the Seychelles, Mauritius, and South Africa have the most powerful passports on the continent, while Nigerians, Ethiopians and Somali have the least freedom of travel, according to the latest ranking from the financial firm Arton Capital. The rankings, based on the number of countries holders of various passport can visit without a visa as well as how many they can get a visa upon arrival.

Seychelles passport holders can travel to 126 countries, including China, France, the United Kingdom, visa-free, with a visa on arrival, or getting an electronic travel authorization. Since visa rules are often reciprocal, the ease of a Seychelles passport is also a reflection of the country’s openness. The Seychelles is one of few countries in the world that doesn’t require visas of anyone, regardless of their nationality. (Travelers are given a “visitor’s permit” when they arrive.)

Traveling to almost any region of the world, as well as within Africa, is notoriously difficult for African passport holders. That’s one reason why the African Union and regional blocs like the East Africa Community are proposing visa-free travel or loosening border requirements. Countries like Rwanda, Ghana, and Benin have scrapped visa requirements for other Africans.

Mkuu MK254.

Kama unataka kusafiri bila matatizo ya kuomba viza, fanya kazi kwa bidii ili ununue uraia wa nchi zenye vikwazo vidogo vya kusafiri.

Kuna scheme nyingi tu za kununua uraia wa Bulgaria, Ugiriki, Spain na Malta kwa kununua nyumba ya $500,000. Viza unayopewa ya kuishi inakupa haki ya kuomba uraia baada ya miaka mitano.

Kama huna muda, kuna nchi zenye pasipoti zinazoheshimika huko Caribbean wanaziuza bila hata ya kuishi huko. Wapalestina na Wasomali matajiri huwa wanazinunua kihalali ili waweze kusafiri bila ya vikwazo.

Hata wanasiasa wanaonyanganywa uraia wananunua pasi hizi ili waweze kusafiri hihalali.

Mmoja wao ni Waziri wa Zamani wa Thailand aliyopinduliwa na wanajeshi, Thaksin Shinawatra. Inasemekana bilionea huyu ana pasi za nchi sita, zote kanunua kwenye mtandao.

Kama huna hela, soma. Kanada na Australia wanakupa uraia chini ya miaka minne wakikukubali kukupa viza kwa kutumia elimu yako.

Dunia ya leo, pasi ni biashara, matatizo ya kusafiri na vikwazo ni kwa walalahoi tu. Wenye pesa na elimu haiwasumbui.
