About This Statistic
This statistic measures “passport power” as the count of destinations a country’s ordinary passport holders can access without obtaining a visa in advance. In the Henley Passport Index methodology, the total typically includes visa‑free access as well as visa‑on‑arrival and ETA/eVisa where no prior embassy visa is required, reflecting practical travel freedom for short stays.
Passport power is shaped by diplomacy, security and migration policy, and reciprocal agreements. It is also dynamic: geopolitical shifts, new bilateral deals, and security changes can alter access from year to year. The Henley Passport Index compiles these counts from IATA Timatic destination rules (the same system airlines use for travel document checks) and updates them throughout the year.
