대한민국 여권으로 비자 없이 여행할 수 있는 나라는 얼마나 될까? 미국 워싱턴포스트가 보도한 ‘세계에서 가장 영향력 있는 여권 순위’에 따르면, 1위 그룹에 속해 있는 미국과 영국에 이어 대한민국은 독일과 프랑스와 함께 2위 그룹에 속해 있다. 대한민국은 주요 선진국 및 G8 국가들과 비자면제가 체결되어 있고, 기타 대부분의 국가들과도 비자면제 협정 체결이 상당히 잘 되어 있는 편이다. 이하는 한국 여권이 있으면 비자를 발급 받을 필요없이 여권만으로 입국이 가능하거나 도착 즉시 비자를 발급 받을 수 있는 국가를 정리해 놓은 것으로, 여행을 계획하고 있는 사람들에게 도움이 될만한 정보인 것 같다.
