Now I know why the Singaporean exchange students in my university had no intention of staying in America.
Damn their passports are strong 🙂
I am suprised Kuwait is so far behind the passport index compared to UAE. The UAE is more politically unstable compared to Kuwait, Kuwait is mostly nuetral. Kuwaiti’s travel more than Emirati’s I believe.
I would only say because UAE has so many visitors from other countries they got the prevlige otherwise they would be far far far behind.
One other thing is reciprocity. The UAE allows significantly more countries visa free access than Kuwait.
Stability is not the only requirement. Bedoun (stateless) internationally are considered Kuwaitis and lots of coutry are afraid of them travelling and not going back to Kuwait.
I am more curious to know which are the countries which dont give a visa free access to say, the Japanese, the Singaporeans, the Germans, etc
