Where it actually starts
There is no single best passport. There is only the best passport for you.
The right strategy depends on your citizenships, your family, where you owe tax, your business interests, how much you can commit, how you travel, and how you want to live.
That is why this site starts with the rules rather than a recommendation: what each route requires, what it costs and what it does to your tax position.
