They’d better have passports, their country teleported to the other side of Australia!!

No ways in hell 80% of South Africans have a valid passport.

This is absolute horseshit. It’s a well known fact that very few people in Japan have passports. Calls every other data point into question too.

Europe suprises me, i dont have a passport and many of my friends dont either, because we can freely travel in the eu, and not everyone goes abroad apart from that.

As an argentinian I swear I’m surprised everytime I scroll down to see which color is my country painted in, only to discover most of the time we are in the highest category of all these maps.
Lots of people here wish they were born in another country, but they don’t realize how good they actually have it.

The numbers are wrong. There is no way it is that high for Turkey.

Side question- why did you use our passport as example 😆🇧🇬

Err… Pretty sure no.
And I doubt this is true for most of the rest of the EU as well since we can travel to 27+ countries without passport.

This is talking about an international passport, right? Because you quite literally cannot not have a regular passport in Russia, it’s illegal.

no way Kazakhstan is green, maybe 5-10% of citizens have been abroad

Nonsense, UK is 9-10% without, according to the Office of National StatisticsÂ

Shitty map with made-up data.
There’s no data on how many Argentinians have a valid passport.
The closest guess is that around 25% of people traveled abroad in recent years but you don’t need a passport to go to bordering countries. So it could be even lower.

That is HIGHLY incorrect. Do not count schengen as having a passport.

People love to shit on us Americans for not traveling internationally more. Be honest though, if your country spanned a continent and you had the ability to have almost any kind of vacation without having to pay to travel internationally would you? I still like traveling internationally to experience different cultures, but most Americans just don’t have that kind of money.

New Zealanders don’t need one, though. They just move the whole country.

I can’t be the only one who really hates these maps that fuck up New Zealand and cut off parts of Russia, Canada, and the US.

No way EU countries are so high, they don’t even need it for the majority of their travels

I’m not surprised about americans. Sounds about right.

I doubt over 80% anywhere have a passport.
The thing expires every couple years and renewing it isn’t worth it unless you really need/want to go somewhere you need it for.

Notable how countries that are large geographically generally have lower passport holding.

This is actually a map showing the percentage of people in each country who self-identify as ‘black’

The only surprises for me are the US and Australia. Given their wealth, I expected the percentage to be way higher for both.
In France, no way that more than 80% of the population has a passport. I have one for not so long because I like to go to London but as you don’t need it in the EU…
People around me having one is quite rare.

So wealthier countries without authoritarian governments often do a lot of tourism
The plates under NZ and Australia seem to have moved around a lot since the last time I checked
Brazil is a surprise. They have a very powerful passport relative to their wealth.
Source?
Australians like to make fun of Americans for never leaving their country but you can’t argue with facts.
FYI: Australia does a “little” better with 55% having a passport vs 51%

I’m leaving this here
[Japan numbers are less than 17%](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/25/japan/society/japan-passport-holders/)
I don’t know if Europe really has that many with a passport. Any travel within the EU just needs a national identity card, not a passport.
Fake

Why you need passport if you do not travel?)
What the hell happened to New Zealand!!?
