A passport that permits easy cross-border travel without drawn-out interrogation or pointless checks is a dream for many.
Ghanaians are no different, since freedom of movement frequently signifies opportunity, safety, and a better future.
Particularly, parents view travel as a means of securing better opportunities for their offspring; occasionally, they even decide to give birth overseas in nations like the US, UK, Canada, or Germany. For families, these locations are frequently seen as doors that can change their lives.
Singapore presently boasts the most powerful passport in the world, providing its inhabitants with unparalleled international mobility, according to the most recent Henley Passport Index, which has been tracking the most travel-friendly passports in the world since 2006.
Ghana has advanced significantly on the African continent, surpassing its neighbours Nigeria and Togo to rank 69th in the world.
Nigeria was ranked 89th, allowing entry to just 44 places, while Togo was ranked 77th, with access to 58 visa-free destinations.
