The Economist looked at tourist visas and the varying legal regimes that country’s employ:

• In general poorer countries charge the most for travel visas.
• Some countries such as Bhutan and Sudan appear to prefer that all tourists stay out.
• Others target specific groups. Chinese people visiting Britain need to fill out a 10 page form with biometric information in English. This keeps them away, robbing the country of £2.8 billion a year.
• Those with an American, British or Danish passport are the luckiest. They can go to over 166 countries without a visa.
• Afghans have it the worst. They are only allowed visa-free travel to 21 countries. None of them have direct flight connections from Kabul.
