Did you know, these three people can travel around the world without a passport

Dream - Passport is the main requirement if you are going to travel abroad. Everyone must hold a passport when visiting other countries, both ordinary citizens and the president.

However, there are 3 people in this world who can visit any country without a passport in more than 200 countries. The three special people are the King of England and the King and Queen of Japan.

According to DNAIndia, this privilege was possessed by Queen Elizabeth before Charles became king. Immediately after Charles became the King of England, his secretary sent a documentary message to all countries through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that Charles is now the King of England, and he should be allowed to travel anywhere with full respect without limitations.

Currently, the Emperor of Japan is Hironomiya Naruhito, while his wife Masako Owada is the Empress of Japan. Japanese diplomatic records indicate that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs began special arrangements for the Emperor and Empress in 1971 so that when they travel abroad, they do not require a passport.

Japan also sent an official letter to all countries in the world stating that their Emperor and Empress are allowed to visit their country without a passport, by carrying the official letter.

Other than when the prime minister and president go from one country to another, they must bring a passport, only their passport is a diplomatic passport, they are given full rights by the host country.

"They do not have to physically present themselves in front of immigration officials and are also exempt from security checks and other procedures."

As information, Singapore will also implement an automatic immigration permit that allows passengers from Changi Airport to travel without requiring a passport. This policy will take effect in 2024 and make Singapore the first country in the world to allow travelers to travel without a passport and only use biometric data. The change in the use of biometric data has also been approved in the Singapore Immigration Act on Monday, September 18, 2023.

Minister of Communication and Information, Josephine Teo, allows the disclosure of passenger and airport crew information to airport operators for technical purposes as one of the main provisions. Through this biometric system, passengers only need to scan their faces, eliminating the need to show passports, tickets, and boarding passes multiple times during the boarding process. "Instead, biometrics will create a 'single authentication token' that passengers can use at various automatic contact points," said Teo.
