Among the billions of people from more than 200 countries, there are three special people Who can visit any country without a visa.
It has been a long time since the identification framework began on the world. Whether it is the President or the Prime Minister, anyone who wants to travel from one country to another has to have a passport.
But among the billions of people from more than 200 countries on earth, there are three special people who can go to any country without a passport. Goes and is given full respect as per the protocol.
At the beginning of the 19th century, it was seen that many problems would arise if the smugglers from one country to another were not controlled, and in fact problems were beginning to arise. At that time, like today, passports did not have all the security features to immediately recognize a fake passport.
There was no agreement between the countries that when a citizen of any country goes to another country, he should have strong documents and his entry into the country should also be bound by rules. During this time, the First Battle World was also going on. Every country started realizing that it is very important to create a system like passport.
I suddenly everything changed. At the League of Nations, the United States took the initiative to create a world-wide passport-like system to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States. In 1924, the United States issued its new passport system.
The passport has now become the official identity card for any person traveling to another country. It contains his name, address, age, photograph, nationality and signature. And now all countries have started issuing e-passport.
Who are those three special people?
But while every person needs a passport to travel abroad, there are three special people in the world who do not need a passport to go anywhere in the world. These special people are the British King and the King and Queen of Japan. This honor was held by Queen Elizabeth before Charles became king.

When Charles became King of Great Britain
As soon as Charles became King of Great Britain, his secretary sent a document through his country's foreign ministry to all countries that Charles was now the King of Great Britain, so he should be allowed to travel anywhere with all due respect. There should be no restrictions on them. Apart from this, their protocol should also be taken care of.
Does the king's wife also have this right?
While the King of Great Britain has the right to hold a passport without traveling to any country in the world, his wife is deprived of this right.
In case of accompanying the King to another country, they must have a diplomatic passport. Similarly, important members of the royal family also have the right to hold diplomatic passports.
The holder of such a passport is accorded special attention and respect. The method of their arrival at the airport of any country is also different.
