Passport Privilege

Passport privilege is a term used to describe the advantages that citizens of certain countries enjoy when it comes to international travel.

Citizens of the United States, Canada, and most European countries have a high degree of passport privilege, as they can travel to many countries without needing a visa or can obtain a visa on arrival. In contrast, citizens of many developing countries face significant barriers to international travel, such as the need to apply for a visa well in advance and high fees for the visa application.
