No matter where you travel to. There's no better feeling then coming home and using your own toilet.

[phillifrstsaxony]

Germany and Japan: if we can't conquer them all, we at least can travel to all of them!

[crisarceo]

I don’t know why I just wasted 9 min watching passports
Bro hadn’t check my notifications in a while so when I saw 5.6k I had to double check honestly didn’t expect this many likes thx 🤟🤙💯

[soppa]

Having to watch the video till the very end to find your own country

"suffering from success"

[thomasjsanford]

Does anyone realize just how ridiculous it is for a North Korean passport to be accepted in 42 countries, Visa-free? North Korean law doesn't allow people to even possess a passport !!

[rodjo]

1. Japan
2. Germany
3. Italy


Conclussion: Start the world war, lose it and your passport will be the most powerful in the world.

[johannesklohse]

Yeah, we Germans have a long history of visiting other countries visa free.

Edit: So do the Japanese. I guess some things never change.

[AVHaxor]

Thank you for taking the time to assemble pictures of each countries passport cover. That extra effort is appreciated.

[santiagodelteide]

Visa-free destinations during Covid-19:
Kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom

[adeadheart]

Everyone: waiting several minutes for their country to show up

Me, an Iraqi: finished the quest after 8 seconds

[assirem]

Conclusion : if you live in a poor country you can only go to the other poor country's

[Lord.Schnitzel]

the diplomatic effort of Germany is quite stunning. after being not so well-liked just 70 years ago working out relationships with all countries to rank all the way up there is an accomplishment.
