Countries with the Worst Passports

Armenia, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bolivia, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Comoros, Ivory Coast, Cuba, Djibouti, Dominica, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Iran, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lesotho, Macao, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Micronesia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Palau, Palestine, Qatar, Rwanda, Samoa, Senegal, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, St. Vincent, Suriname, Tanzania, East Timor, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda according to the source, but I know a lot of people will go to China visa free and South Korea of course does not require a visa.

Just barely misses the list at 57.

True. However, covid has halted things and the EU has already been putting the brakes on migration both at home and abroad. Italy has been using their navy to prevent Africans from reaching the mainland and Greece has been stopping Syrians from crossing in through Turkey. Meanwhile Germany has even sent their military into Sub Saharan Africa to work with various leaders including some dictators who are known human rights violators by paying them and giving them newer technology to keep migrants out of Europe. Money talks.

Many don't recognize them but accept the passport I believe. Not the citizens' fault for living somewhere they believe to be de jure a different country.

I think that the South Asian countries that show up here, though they are not as poor and/or not as belligerent as many of the other countries that show up above, suffer by virtue of their geography. Other regions of the world have more economic and political cooperation between larger numbers of countries. South Asia has relatively fewer countries, is dominated mostly by India, and India doesn't get along particularly well with most of its neighbors, leaving them more isolated than many poorer and/or less stable countries in Africa, the Middle East, SE Asia or Latin America.

Also, I allude to this on the opposite quiz, but immigration. South Asians immigrants go everywhere, essentially to any country that's even slightly richer than them. This is not a concern for poorer and less populous countries like, say, Chad or Mali. A lot of richer countries probably the best way to limit illegal immigration from these countries is not allowing them in in the first place--hence, strict visa requirements. The only reason India is not on here I suspect is because it's a powerful enough country that it can negotiate for visa-free travel, something the other countries can't do.
