How the ranking works

For each passport we count how many countries the holder can enter without a prior visa — visa-free, visa on arrival or eTA. The sum of those destinations gives a mobility score that sets its place in the 2026 index. Same idea as the Henley Passport Index and Arton Capital, on our own up-to-date data.

Frequently asked

What is the passport index?
It ranks the world's passports by how many countries the holder can enter without a prior visa — visa-free or visa on arrival. More visa-free destinations means a higher rank.
How is passport strength calculated?
For every passport we count destinations offering visa-free entry, visa on arrival and eTA, then derive an overall mobility score. That score sets the rank in the 2026 index.
Which is the strongest passport in 2026?
The United Arab Emirates passport ranks #1 with 128 visa-free destinations (score 172.7). See the full table above.
Is this the same as the Henley Passport Index?
No. This is an independent index built on the same idea (visa-free destination count) using our own up-to-date data for 2026. Values and ranks may differ slightly from Henley or Arton Capital.
How often is the passport index updated?
The data is revised as visa policies change. The current table reflects 2026 — always confirm with the embassy before you travel.
