Passports are in the news as many European countries consider increased border security checks following the deadly attacks in Paris which murdered 129 people.

Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said the EU must quickly implement beefed-up border security measures in the wake of the attack.

The most expensive passport in the world can be found in Turkey. It costs $251 (£165), or about 95 hours of minimum wage work, according to rankings collated by GoEuro and presented by Statista.
