Croatia's citizens can travel to 144 world countries without a visa, however, the Croatian passport is among ''the weakest'' passports in Europe.

According to the Passport Index list, ''the most powerful'' passports in the world are German and Singapore because citizens of these two countries can travel to the largest number of world countries visa-free.

Although the passport value is determined by a set of parameters, the visa is the most important of them. The Croatian passport has made a big progress in the period from 1990s to 2017; however, the country has placed as the 15th on the Passport Index list along with Monaco, Bulgaria and Argentina and is still among the weakest in the European Union.

Croats can travel to 144 countries around the globe visa-free; however, a visa is required for Croatian citizens going to almost all African and Middle Eastern countries.

In addition, as Croatia is an EU member country, the Croatian passport is much more powerful than passports of all the other Balkan countries. However, in comparison to last year, Croatia has dropped from 14th to 15th place on the list. Only a Slovenian passport is ''stronger'' than Croatian, whilst Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina are in the lower part of the list along with Russia.

Germans have the greatest freedom of travelling around the world, they can visit 157 world countries visa-free. The country is followed by Singapore, Sweden, South Korea, Denmark, Finland, Italy, France, Spain and Norway. The US passport was the most powerful two years ago, however, now it is not even among the top ten.

The country of Afghanistan has stuck to the bottom of the Passport Index list for years. Its citizens can travel to only 23 countries visa-free.
