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.

The capital, Antananarivo, blends colonial architecture with bustling markets. Cultural expressions like music and dance remain vibrant across the island.

Madagascar maintains diplomatic relations with many countries and is a member of the African Union. It participates in regional organizations such as the Southern African Development Community. The country has faced economic and political challenges while working towards stability. Its international partnerships focus on development and environmental conservation.
