Japan tops the passport index published in the first half of 2021. This top chartestimates immigration opportunities that citizens of various countries have. For example, the Japanese can travel to 193 countries without any additional paperwork. Ironically, Japan is also among the countries where it is especially challenging to get a permanent residence permit.
If you look at the top seven countries in this index, you will see that Spain with a score of 190 countries is the fourth in the list, Austria with a score of 189 is the fifth and Portugal with a score of 188 is the sixth. These are the countries that are rather open to immigrants and are even ready to offer favourable conditions to foreign investors.
