Henley Index says Asian passports now the world's most powerful
I wonder how far the UK will drop after Brexit, if at all, especially if countries outside the EU see them differently after they leave the bosom of the EU.

Why should the UK Passport drop in global acceptance?
The poster offers no justification for his presumption/posting.
Much of the world, not just Europe and the EU countries - some of which may not even be European under an enlarged EU - need and seek access to the UK given:
Its fine universities, financial institutions such as Lloyds for global insurance of almost everything; the London Stock Market and the AIM - Alternative Investment Market, it's world class museums and world class private medical research and treatment facilities and so the list goes on.
The UK may well see a surge in acceptance of its passport post Brexit.
Time will tell.

Jeez you’re a right stick-in-the-mud. Are you German OML?
I was playing devils advocate knowing Brexit will be mentioned at some point.
But well done for stifling debate. >slow clap<

Chinese tourists account for 27% of tourism in Thailand. Not sure if that's good or scary for The Land of Smiles being so reliant.
