Aussie passport dip

THE Australian passport has dropped from seventh to 10th place for 2019 on the international ranking of passports, Henley Passport Index.

The index showed that Aussies can enter 181 countries visa-free in 2019, two less than last year.

The drop is due to Ukraine and Turkey introducing an online e-Visa service.

Japan has claimed the top spot with visa-free/visa-on-arrival access to 190 destinations.
