How Do We Rank It?

passportreports.com's AI-supported ranking model ranks passports by mobility score, a metric that combines visa-free entry, visa on arrival, and electronic travel authorization access. When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About Bahamas

The Bahamas is an archipelago scattered across the Atlantic Ocean, stretching from near Florida down to the Caribbean. Its islands range from large landmasses like Andros to hundreds of small cays. The nation is part of the Lucayan Archipelago, sharing the region with the Turks and Caicos Islands. Its geography is defined by turquoise waters, coral reefs, and sandy shores.

Daily life across the islands moves at a relaxed pace, with Nassau serving as the bustling commercial and cultural hub. Fishing, boating, and family gatherings are central to local traditions. Markets and festivals often feature vibrant music, crafts, and cuisine that blend African, European, and Caribbean influences. The warm climate encourages an outdoor lifestyle throughout the year.

The Bahamas maintains close economic and political ties with its neighbors through organizations like CARICOM. Its location makes it a gateway between North America and the Caribbean region. The country is known for its stability and has developed a strong services sector. Tourism and financial services are key pillars of its engagement with the international community.
