Every Passport Has A Story - Fortunat Miarintsoa Andrianimanana from Madagascar
The more countries you can enter without a visa, the more “powerful” your passport is. Fortunat's Malagasy passport, for example, only allows them to enter 55 countries with a free visa. But as a “weak” passport holder, they will certainly be required to demonstrate the reason for their travels, their economic subsistence, and their intention to return. In other words, the wealthier you are, the easier it is for you to be welcomed in another country. The passport is, therefore, the first filter of migration.
Listen to Fortunat's experiences as a “weak” passport holder in this episode, or read their story on https://correspondentsoftheworld.com/story/every-passport-has-a-story
