Belgium has the 5th best passport in the World
There are nationalities that are more advantageous than others. And passports that make it easier to cross borders than others.
Traveling has become easier. But this does not mean that we can all fairly go to the countries of our choice. Thus, traveling in the Schengen area is simple for nationals of the member states of this area of free movement in Europe.
