Entry restrictions 

As per the recent findings in the Henley and Partners reports, the countries with the most powerful passports have the strictest entry restrictions in order to stop the further spread of the COVID-19.

At the same time, the countries with the lowest number of destinations do not have any such preventive measures while keeping milder entry requirements in place.

Dr Leila Hadj Abdou, a lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Vienna, considers that travel restrictions imposed across European countries, as in many countries worldwide, are causing difficulties on the road to normality. International migration and mobility will continue to play an important role in the EU’s economy and its development, given the ongoing skills shortages across many member states,” she pointed out, as reported by Henley and Partners.

 

Additionally, every country is being cautious as the virus, and its new variants are causing uncertainty while thinking about the economy can remain open, especially in the tourism sector.
