The Straits Times reported on June 25 that Singaporeans possess the fifth most highly-ranked passport in the world, giving us access to an impressive 170 countries out of 219.

The national daily — being the national daily and all — also listed 14 notable countries that Singapore citizens need a visa to enter.

As useful as that list was, we nonetheless feel The Straits Times can still do better.

We therefore bring you the honour roll of not just countries, but also territories, that us red passport and pink IC holders require a visa to enter, as compiled from Ministry of Home Affairs.

These, by the way, include all types of visas — essentially, as long as you need to apply for something and pay money, either ahead or at the airport, before entering, it's in this list.
