Passport mobility score

Score for visa-free access for a country’s passport to travel destinations as measured by the Henley Passport Index For each travel destination, if no visa is required for passport holders from a country or territory, then a score with value = 1 is created for that passport. A score with value = 1 is also applied if passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival, a visitor’s permit or an electronic travel authority (ETA) when entering the destination. These types of visa require no pre-departure government approval because of the specific visa-waiver programmes in place. Where a visa is required, or where a passport holder has to obtain a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure, a score with value = 0 is assigned. A score with value = 0 is also assigned if passport holders need pre-departure government approval for a visa on arrival, a scenario that is not considered “visa-free”. The total score for each passport is equal to the number of destinations for which no visa is required (value = 1), under the conditions defined above.
