Showing the top 50 of 199 passports.

“=” 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

Visa-free access matters more where few passports have it. Here each destination is weighted by how exclusive that access is: countries that let in almost every passport without a visa — Micronesia, the Seychelles — count for almost nothing, while countries that admit few passports count for more. 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), United Arab Emirates leads with 59.9%.
