With the popularity of outbound travel, the global attention to the gold content of passports has also begun to increase.
In recent years, the gold content of Chinese passports has increased rapidly, and on a global scale, the european regional passports that were best used in the past have also changed from European countries to Asian countries in the post-epidemic era, and the strongest passports on the surface of the earth have been spent in Asia many times in recent years, and Singapore is one of them.
Recently, the results of the world's best passport ranking were released, and the Singapore passport can be used in 192 countries and regions around the world without visas, ranking second best in the world along with the Korean passport.
As for the title of the world's strongest passport, it was won by the Japanese passport preparing for the national funeral for five consecutive years, and Singapore became the second oldest in the millennium!

The world's best passport rankings, although it is not a lot of unpopular knowledge, but I believe that before reading this list, there are not many people who can really explain this problem clearly.
In addition, the small book of passports, there is a little secret about color that about 90% of people may not know, do you know that passports around the world are divided into several colors?
What is the significance of the passport color chosen for each country?
There are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, but there are only 4 colors of passports, which are red, green, blue and black, but the shades and tones of colors can be changed, such as red can evolve into orange, and blue has dark blue and light blue.
Passports around the world are basically blue and red, and there are changes in hue, and geography, politics, and even religion will affect the choice of passport color. Each color system represents a unique meaning and background.

Red passport
Red is the color used by the passports of the most countries, up to 70, and most of the countries used are countries with a long history, Such as China, Singapore, etc.
In addition, many of the EU's member states, with the exception of Croatia, use red passports, which has led Turkey, Albania and the Republic of Macedonia, which have always wanted to join the EU, to change their passports to red a few years ago. The Andean Community, composed of South American countries such as Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, also uses a Burgundy Red Passport.

Blue passport
The second most are blue passports, mostly caribbean countries, or customs union countries, including the United States, Canada, 15 Caribbean countries, South American countries including Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, etc., as well as The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China Passport, etc. are all used as blue passports, blue represents the New World countries.
But the most special of these is Venezuela, which belongs to the customs union but uses a red passport.
In addition, american passports are also very interesting.
The blue version of the U.S. passport, as it is now known, was changed in 1976.
The earliest U.S. tourist passports were red, replaced by green passports in the 1930s, then to Bergendi red, and in the 1970s to black passports.

Green passport
Green passports are the third most popular, with most Islamic countries adopting green passports, which are said to be the prophet Muhammad's favorite color.
In addition, many African countries also choose green passports, such as Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, etc., and they mainly choose green in the hope of distinguishing themselves from the West African Economic Community.
However, the above explanation is not common to all countries with green passports, and the green in some countries and regions has nothing to do with religious factors.

Black passport
The number of countries that use black passports is the smallest, and the use of small countries is mainly small, and the Congo in Africa, Angola, and New Zealand in Oceania currently use black.
It is worth mentioning that New Zealand also uses a black passport, and the reason is because of the color that symbolizes the country's nationality.

In addition, some countries have played other creative roles in addition to passport cover colors.
Countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, China and Norway have their own ideas in terms of passport colors, and some styles can only be seen under purple lights.
For example, Norwegian passports with the help of purple lights, ordinary passports can become literary and artistic in a second, and they can also be aurorad.
