Only 500 People On Earth Owns This Passport. by BisQuit(m): 6:28pm On Aug 30, 2017
It is known that some passports have greater powers than the rest. Take, for example, the German passport, which is thought of as the most powerful global entry tool. According to the reports of Travel + Leisure, a person who holds the German passport can visit 177 countries around the world without needing a visa.

While it is quite unbelievable to travel to so many countries without needing a visa, what’s even cooler is being a member of the world’s most exclusive passport: The Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

Being a card-carrying member of this religious order has its own perks. The Catholic order which had its sovereignty recognized by Pope Paschal in 1113, is home to the world’s rarest passport.

According to this order, there are only 500 passports in circulation around the globe right now

Diplomatic passports are granted only to the members of the Sovereign Council, heads and members of Diplomatic Missions, their consort and children. Senior figures who are in-charge of special missions within the Order of Malta have also been granted this passport.

The passport remains valid only for 4 years and is strictly linked to the duration of a given assignment by the Order

The Sovereign Order of Malta maintains diplomatic relations with 106 states. It means that all these states accept the diplomatic passports as a valid form of identification. Currently, it is active in 120 countries.

There you have it, it helps people in need through its medical, social, and humanitarian works. It is also involved in helping people living in the midst of armed conflicts and natural disasters.

The Order noted on its site, “It is neutral, impartial and apolitical.”
