Countries with Visa-Free Access to the United States

How Do We Rank It?

The United States Access Ranking compares eligible passports that allow entry to the United States visa-free, with a visa on arrival or with an electronic travel authorization. The results are re-ranked from 1 among these passports.Global Ranking Methodology: passportreports.com ranks passports by their Mobility Score. The Mobility Score represents the total number of countries that can be entered visa-free, with a visa on arrival, or with an electronic travel authorization. If Mobility Scores are equal, the number of countries accessible without a visa is considered first. If that number is also equal, the number of countries accessible with an electronic travel authorization is considered. If the tie remains, the number of countries accessible with a visa on arrival is considered. If all values are equal, the countries share the same rank. Review the algorithm used in our methodology.

About Access to the United States

This page identifies passports whose holders can currently travel to the United States through visa-free entry, visa on arrival or an electronic travel authorization. Only access types recorded in the central Passport Reports mobility matrix are included. Passports that normally require an advance visa are excluded. The list therefore reflects entry access to one destination rather than a separate passport-strength formula.

Countries are ordered with the same methodology used across Passport Reports. Mobility score is considered first, followed by visa-free access, eTA access and visa on arrival. Passports with identical values across these metrics share the same global rank. The local view shows their order within this United States access list, while the global view preserves their worldwide ranking.

United States entry rules can change according to nationality, travel purpose, document type and current government policy. Travelers should confirm the applicable conditions with official authorities before departure. The page reads from the central data system, so qualifying passports and their metrics update automatically when the underlying records change. No separate ranking method or manually maintained country list is used here.
