“=” marks a shared rank: passports with equal scores share a place, and the next place counts every passport ahead (1, 2, 2, 4). Entry restrictions are shown separately and don't lower the score.

About this ranking

Not every destination counts the same: here each one weighs as much as its own passport is strong — its P2L Score. Visa-free access to a country whose citizens can travel widely counts for more than access to one whose citizens can go almost nowhere. The weights come from the same visa data as the rest of our rankings; they describe how freely each destination’s own citizens travel, not how good the destination is. The score is the weighted share of all destinations a passport’s holders can visit without applying for a visa in advance; the passport’s own country is excluded.

In our current data, partly verified (the rest from public visa data as of 17 Feb 2026), South Korea leads with 90.8%.
