9. Belgium
On par with Portugal, Belgium’s passport will get you entry to 172 countries without a visa at the cost of $76 US, which is solid. However, living in the land of castles (more per square kilometer than any other country) plus the world’s best chocolate and beer, you might just want to stay put.
8. Spain
Spain is begging their people to travel abroad. Allowing entry to 172 countries without a visa for an astonishing $30 US, the Spanish government really encourages its citizens to travel abroad. Or maybe they understand the natural allure their country holds and they’re just not worried about it. The country is usually among the world’s most visited year after year.
7. Canada
Moving up a notch on the list is our genial neighbor to the north. A Canadian passport grants access to 173 countries without a visa, but costs $120 US – pretty steep, but it’s valid for 10 years. About 60 percent of Canadians hold a passport, but that might be because most of them want to head to warmer climates during the long winters.
