The British passport would be worth the same as Argentina’s if the rights of free movement are stripped from the UK in a hard Brexit, according to a study of passport power. The study takes into account how many countries can be visited without applying for a visa. “We did studies of what makes one nationality more valuable than another, and of course the British nationality is one of the best in the world,” Prof. Dimitry Kochenov, who compiled the report, said at a conference in London.
