Henley Passport Index is an original and authoritative ranking of all passports worldwide based on the number of destinations accessible to their holders without prior visa requirements.
The index is built on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) — the largest and most accurate database of travel information — and is supplemented by the research team at Henley & Partners.
The Henley Passport Index compares visa-free access for 199 different passports to 227 travel destinations. If a visa is not required, a score of 1 is assigned to that passport. The same applies if a visa on arrival (VOA), visit permit, or electronic travel authorization (ETA) is available upon entry to the destination country.
