One of the most time-consuming things about travel is waiting and applying for visas, especially if you’re a spontaneous kind of traveler. Australian passports currently sit at 9th place for the most powerful passports, according to the Henley Passport Index. The Australian passports allow for visits to 180 countries around the world, visa free (some may require one’s upon entry). This means that planning last minute trips should be a breeze for most places for Aussies!
