US drops to record low in ranking of most powerful passports
The United States has dropped to its lowest position yet in the ranking of most powerful passport in the world. Americans once held the strongest passport for visa-free entry, with the US most recently topping the list in 2014. According to the latest ranking, it has now dropped down to tenth place. The list has been produced by the Henley Passport Index, which is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). It analyzes how many countries a passport holder can enter without a prior visa. In what has been a downward trend, the US is now tied with Iceland and Lithuania with 182 destinations. The three most powerful passports are all from Asian countries, with Singapore's passport – allowing visa-free entry to 193 destinations - holding the top spot. Next, Japan and South Korea are tied with 190 destinations. In third place, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain - all countries in the European Union - tie with 189 possible destinations. This makes for a staggering mobility gap of 168 destinations between the top-and bottom-ranked passports. As for biggest risers, the UAE continues to be a standout, shooting up 34 places over the last 10 years from 42nd to eighth place. China is also quickly moving up the rankings, rising 34 places from 94 to 60 since 2015 - an especially impressive feat, considering China has not yet gained visa-free access to Europe's Schengen Area. Meanwhile, the biggest faller on these rankings is Venezuela, which plunged 15 places from 30 to 45. Christian H. Kaelin, who is credited with creating the index, said in a news release that the latest findings highlight an 'increasingly competitive landscape in global mobility,' with the most successful countries demonstrating proactive efforts to engage with others. Dr. Juerg Steffen, Chief Executive Officer at Henley & Partners, says this trend is reshaping the investment migration landscape. 'Americans are now leading the demand worldwide for alternative residence and citizenship options, with British nationals also among the top five globally. 'As the US and UK adopt increasingly inward-looking policies, we're witnessing a marked rise in interest from their citizens seeking greater global access and security. 'Your passport is no longer just a travel document - it's a reflection of your country's diplomatic influence and international relationships.

Errol Musk eyes Bosnia for research hub on gravity and space
SARAJEVO, July 24 (Reuters) - South African businessman Errol Musk, the father of billionaire Elon Musk, visited Bosnia this week to assess its potential as a location for a research institute on gravity, space-time and longevity, months after saying he planned to base it in Dubai. The elder Musk, a 79-year-old engineer who is estranged from his son, was quoted by Bosnia's Klix news portal as saying he had been offered a location in the United Arab Emirates but was advised to try the Balkans by a friend there originally from the region. "I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by what I found. The economy, the availability of things, the behavior of people. I spent a few days here and thought - this is idyllic," the news portal quoted the South African businessman as saying. "My initial idea was that the UAE was ideal, but now that I've seen this ... I'd say this is much better." The Chamber of Commerce of Bosnia's autonomous Bosniak-Croat Federation said it had highlighted the country's educated workforce and economic potential in a presentation to Errol Musk on Wednesday. He said he had not spoken to Bosnian government officials about what he said was a private initiative to investigate the "four realms of longevity, fusion, space-time and gravity". He feared any over-controlling governments and wanted to attract people who were not "already brainwashed and think that such things are not possible", adding that he had also visited Austria and Serbia. Bosnia, once part of Socialist Yugoslavia, consists of a Bosniak-Croat Federation and Serb Republic linked by weak state authorities. An international envoy oversees it to prevent a return to fighting between its Serbs, Croats and Muslims which tore it apart in 1992-5. Errol Musk said he had not investigated Bosnia's political system or discussed a potential investment there with his son, but would try to persuade him. ($1 = 0.7387 pounds)
