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

How many of the world’s people a passport lets you visit: the share of the population living in destinations its holders can enter 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 84.4%.

Coverage. World Bank population data for 2024 (World Development Indicators, CC BY 4.0), retrieved 27 Sept 2026. Covers 197 of 199 destinations; no 2024 data for Taiwan, Vatican City — these are left out of the calculation rather than counted as zero.
