Owning a passport opens up a world of possibility and freedom for travellers - or so you would think.

拥有一本护照就能够自由出入各国、随意游遍世界么，那可不一定。

In some countries around the world, even if you are lucky enough to have access to the government-issued documents, you are still restricted and barred from several countries.

世界上有一些国家，即使你足够幸运获得了政府授权的文件，但仍然会被一些国家“拒之门外。

Henley and Partners created a Visa Restrictions Index, which ranks countries globally in accordance to the travel freedom enjoy their inhabitants enjoy - with some surprising results.

亨氏顾问公司分析研究了世界上所有国家和地区的签证规定，之后按照不同国家的公民前往海外所享有的免签证国家数而创建了签证受限指数。

Where it might be expected that countries such as North Korea and possibly Cuba could take the bottom spots for the most restricted travel freedom, they actually place at 86 and 69 respectively, from a ranking of a total of 94.

朝鲜和古巴本被认为是世界上签证受限程度最高的国家，但实际上，在包括94个国家的签证受限指数排名中，朝鲜和古巴分别排在第86和69位，并不是垫底的。

Each country was given a score by global consulting firm Henley and Partners, who specialise in residence and citizenship planning.
