THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PASSPORTS IN THE WORLD

All passports from all countries look similar because, in 1920, the League of Nations agreed to standardize all passports worldwide. All passports must have a specific size and the same number of pages. But inside passports, every country has exclusive and beautiful design features that represent the country's identity. Besides, the design will introduce the country to the globe. Here are the top 10 countries with the most beautiful passports in the world according to my opinion after I saw some of the references.

Norway has three color variants, red for standard, white for immigrant, and green for diplomatic. All my favorite colors are blue, red, and white. The inside pages describe Norway's natural landscape. And if you look at the passport under ultraviolet light, you will see a vivid holographic image of the northern light shimmering above a range of mountains.

Philipines

In my opinion, the most beautiful passport in the world, the latest I chose is the Philippine passport. In 2016, the government released a new passport design. The design features colorful illustrations of natural landmarks, animals, and popular tourist destinations. And if you can read Tagalog, you will see an accompanying national anthem sentence on each page. It is unique, and you never find it on others' passports.

Besides, the design, like a tourist guidebook, will help tourists find the most places in the Philippines. You will find some famous attractions in the Philippines, like the Chocolate of Bohol, Mayon Volcano, and the Underground River of Peurto Princesa, Palawan, and others.

After you read the inside of the passport some of the countries, which one do you like?
