Ngaba uye wakha wazibuza ukuba yiliphi ilizwe elinika ipasipoti enamandla kakhulu emhlabeni? Oko kukuthi, enye ipasipoti evumela ukuba ungene kwizona zizwe kwamanye amazwe angaphandle? Yiyo kanye into eyenziwa ngu-Henley & Partners kunye ne-Index yayo ye-Visa Restrictions Index, kwaye kungathi kunokumangalisa indlela amaxesha amaninzi angatshintsha ngayo.
Ngokomxholo we-2016 we-Visa Restrictions Index, abahambi baseJamani banamaphepha epasipoti enamandla kakhulu emhlabeni.
Amaxwebhu abo okuhamba awamkelwa ngo-177 (ngaphandle kweemeko ezingama-218) kwilizwe lonke ngaphandle kwemfuno ye-visa. Oku akumangalisi ke ngoko, njengoko ilizwe liye labeka isikhundla esiphezulu kwiminyaka emithathu edlulayo, ngokukhawuleza ukuphuma eSweden, enokufumaneka kwindawo yesibini kwiluhlu kunye namazwe angama-176 avuma iipassports zayo ngokunjalo.
Oku kulandelayo liqela lamazwe aquka i-UK, iFinland, iFransi neSpain, abo baqokelela iipasipoti ezintathu ezinamandla kakhulu emhlabeni, ngokungena kumazwe angama-175. I-United States ihlangene neBelgium, iDenmark, neNetherlands kwindawo yesine, kunye neen-174 zamazwe angenazo iintengiso kwiluhlu lwazo.
Xa sicinga ukuba lukhulu kangakanani uhambo ngalolu suku kunye neminyaka, kwaye iifasiports eziqhelekileyo zisetyenziswe njani kule nkqubo, kubonakala ngathi ezi zikhundla ziya kuhlala zizinzile. Kodwa, ummeli kaHenley & Partners watshela i-UK iphephandaba i - Telegraph ithi "Ngokuqhelekileyo, kukho inxaxheba ebalulekileyo kwibhodi (lo nyaka) ngamazwe angama-21 kuphela kuma-199 athathwe kwi-rank efanayo." Inkampani yaqhubeka yathi "Akukho lizwe, kodwa liye lahla ngaphaya kwezikhundla ezintathu, kubonisa ukuba ngokubanzi, ukufikelela kwe-visa-free kuphucula emhlabeni jikelele."
Ngoko ke ngubani owona mqoqo omkhulu we-2016? I-Index ibonisa ukuba iTimor-Leste iphakame amabala angama-33, ukuya kwi-57 isikhundla jikelele. Amanye amazwe abone ukuphakama kwamapasipoti ayo aphakama aquka iColombia (ama-25 amabala), iPalau (+20), neTonga, ephakama amabala angama-16 kuloluhlu.
Ngokuqhelekileyo, olu tshintsho luvela ngenxa yokuphucula ukuzinza kwezopolitiko kunye nobudlelwane phakathi kwamazwe avela emhlabeni wonke.
Kodwa, ukupholisa ubudlelwane bezobudlelwane kungabangela impembelelo echaseneyo, ukuthumela amanye amazwe awela phantsi kwizinga eliphezulu. Ngokuqinisekileyo, oko kunokuthetha nokutshintshwa okuncinci kwinani lamazwe avumela i-visa ukungena mahala. Ngokomzekelo, i-UK yayiboshwe kwindawo ephezulu kunyaka ophelileyo, kodwa yayishiya isithsaba xa ezinye iintlanga zifuna ukuphuma ezifunekayo kubahambi abavela eJamani.
Ukuba amazwe afakwe apha ngasentla ayenayo iipasipoti ezinamandla kunazo zonke ehlabathini, yiziphi iintlanga ezinentlonelo encinci yokuhamba ngaphandle kwe-visa? Indawo yokugqibela kwisalathisi ibanjwe yi-Afghanistan, abemi bayo banokutyelela amanye amazwe angama-25 ngaphandle kokufumana i-visa. IPhailand ihamba kunye neendawo ezingama-29 nje zasemzini ezamkela ipasipoti yayo, ne-Iran, iSomalia, neSiriya kwindawo yesithathu, yesine, neyesihlanu ngokulandelanayo.
I-visa yokuhamba ngokuqhelekileyo ikhishwe nguRhulumente welizwe olivakatyelayo. Ngokuqhelekileyo ithatha ifom esicacisi okanye uxwebhu olukhethekileyo olufakwe ngaphakathi kwipaspoti yakho, kwaye ivumela abahambi ukuba bahlale kwimizuzwana yesizwe esibhekene nayo. Amanye amazwe (njengeTshayina okanye iNdiya) adinga ukuba iindwendwe zifumane i-visa ngaphambi kokufika, ngelixa abanye baya kunika enye kwisikhululo-moya njengoko abahambi bafuna ukufumana.
Ukuba uhamba phesheya kwaye ungaqinisekanga ngemfuneko yokungena yeendawo oza kuzwendwendwela kuzo, kukulungele ukukhangela loo nkcukacha kwi-intanethi ngaphambi kokushiya ekhaya. Ngokomzekelo, iSebe leSizwe lase-US ligcina i-website kunye nolwazi olusesikweni kweso sifundo. Isayithi inokukuxelela okokufuneka iimfuno ezithile ze-visa (kunye neendleko) zaliphi na ilizwe elinikeziweyo, kunye nedatha efanelekileyo kunoma yiphina iigonywa ezicetywayo okanye ezifunekayo, izithintelo zemali kunye nolunye ulwazi olubalulekileyo ngokunjalo.
