Visa requirements for holders of passports issued by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta

This ancient and sovereign order currently only issues passports to three of its officers, all of whom also hold passports issued by sovereign nations. Technically, if they lost their other passports, the three holders of Sovereign Military Order of Malta passports could travel to at least 104 countries and territories without acquiring visas in advance.
