Computed from 37,830 passport–destination rules · Data last reviewed 2026-08-25

How far does each passport take you? This report ranks all 195 passports in our dataset by mobility score — the number of destinations reachable without visiting an embassy (visa-free + visa on arrival + eVisa/ETA) — and looks at the other side of the desk: which destinations admit the most nationalities without an advance visa. Every figure is computed live from the same dataset that powers our visa checker.

Key findings

The mobility gap is stark: the top-10 passports average 179 accessible destinations; the bottom 10 average just 78 — a 2.3× difference determined entirely by birthplace.
Europe passports have the highest average mobility (170); Africa the lowest (97).
The most open destination is Burundi, admitting 194 nationalities visa-free or on arrival; the most restrictive, Turkmenistan, admits 0.
Visa policy is strikingly unequal between partners: 4,290 country pairs (23% of all pairs) are "one-way doors" — one side enters visa-free while the other queues at an embassy.

One-way doors: reciprocity asymmetries

Visa-free access is often not mutual. Notable examples from the 4,290 asymmetric pairs:

Australia citizens enter Albania visa-free, but Albania citizens need a visa for Australia — see the reciprocity tool.
Canada citizens enter Albania visa-free, but Albania citizens need a visa for Canada — see the reciprocity tool.
Japan citizens enter Albania visa-free, but Albania citizens need a visa for Japan — see the reciprocity tool.
United Kingdom citizens enter Albania visa-free, but Albania citizens need a visa for United Kingdom — see the reciprocity tool.
United States citizens enter Albania visa-free, but Albania citizens need a visa for United States — see the reciprocity tool.
Australia citizens enter Andorra visa-free, but Andorra citizens need a visa for Australia — see the reciprocity tool.
Canada citizens enter Andorra visa-free, but Andorra citizens need a visa for Canada — see the reciprocity tool.
United Kingdom citizens enter Andorra visa-free, but Andorra citizens need a visa for United Kingdom — see the reciprocity tool.

Methodology

Scores are computed from isvisarequired.com's visa-requirement dataset: an open base dataset (derived from public government and IATA-style sources) plus our layer of individually verified corrections, each pinned to a primary source and date. "Mobility" counts destinations an ordinary tourist-passport holder can reach without an embassy visa: visa-free entry, visa on arrival, or an eVisa/electronic travel authorisation. Destination "openness" counts nationalities admitted visa-free or on arrival. The dataset covers 195 countries (37,830 directed pairs); territories and special administrative regions are excluded, so totals differ slightly from indexes that count them. Figures reflect the dataset as of 2026-08-25. See how we source our data.
