About Passport Power Rankings

The VisaByCountry.com Passport Power Rankings is a comprehensive assessment of passports based on the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa.

Our ranking methodology:

  • Visa-free travel: Each visa-free destination contributes 1 point to a passport's score.
  • Visa on arrival (VOA): Each VOA destination contributes 0.7 points.
  • E-Visa/ETA: Each e-visa or electronic travel authorization contributes 0.7 points.

The total score determines a passport's global rank. The higher the score, the more powerful the passport.

This ranking is based on data from our comprehensive database covering 199 passports and territories around the world.
