Very High HDI Reach Ranking

How much of the most developed world a passport opens: the share of destinations with very high human development — a UN Human Development Index of 0.800 or above, 74 destinations in 2023 — that its holders can visit without applying for a visa in advance. The passport’s own country is excluded. In our current data, not yet verified (as of 17 Feb 2026), South Korea leads with 100.0%.

Experimental. UNDP Human Development Index for 2023 (Human Development Report 2025, CC BY 3.0 IGO), retrieved 30 Sept 2026. Covers 193 of 199 destinations; no 2023 data for Kosovo, Macao, Monaco, North Korea, Taiwan, Vatican City — these are left out of the calculation rather than counted as outside the group.
