How is the strength of passport determined?
The strength or ranking of the passport of any country is done on the basis of how many countries its holders can travel without taking a visa beforehand. If you understand its simple meaning, then it is that how many countries give the facility of Visa on Arrival to the citizens of the respective country. Actually, Visa on Arrival is mostly given to friendly countries, that is, countries with good relations and the citizens of that country do not feel any kind of threat. Let us tell you that its data is provided by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
