G20 Countries and 2026 Passport Rankings

The G20 brings together major advanced and emerging economies in a high-level setting for international economic coordination. It began in 1999 at finance minister and central bank level, then became a leaders’ summit forum after the global financial crisis. The current process includes nineteen countries, the European Union and the African Union, while this page focuses on the nineteen national passports represented in Passport Reports. The comparison uses the G20 grouping without changing the scoring method used across the passport index.

G20 work covers financial stability, trade, sustainable development, digital transformation, climate, energy, health and wider economic resilience. It has a rotating presidency and no permanent secretariat, so priorities are carried from year to year through coordination among successive hosts. The group does not create a shared border, a common visa area or a unified passport regime. Each passport therefore keeps its own travel access profile based on separate visa policies and international arrangements.

The G20 ranking view compares only the passports of the nineteen listed member countries, while the global view keeps their worldwide positions visible. The figures come from the central Passport Reports system, including visa-free destinations, visa on arrival, eTA access and visa-required destinations. The same ranking order and tie-break rules used across the website remain unchanged. When central mobility records are updated, the figures on this page update automatically.
