The Passport Index

The Passport Index is an interactive online tool that provides users with insights on passports with the ability to compare and rank the world’s passports. Ranking is based on freedom of movement and visa-free travel open to holders.[1]

World Openness Score

The World Openness Score is a measure that tracks the ability of the world’s population to travel visa-free. It has grown from 17,904 to 20,143 between 2015 and Aug 2018.[2]

Methodology

The Passport Index compares passports mainly on their visa-free travel options, but also on how welcoming the countries are to other nationalities. [3]

Background

The Passport Index was launched by Arton Capital, a financial services firm,[4][5] in 2014.
