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 Mexico

Mexico stretches from the US border to Central America, bordered by the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. Its landscape includes deserts, mountains, tropical forests, and long coastlines. The country sits at the meeting point of North and South America, giving it a unique geographic position. Its varied terrain shapes distinct regional identities across the nation.

Daily life in Mexico often centers around family and community ties, with vibrant public markets and plazas serving as social hubs. Cities buzz with activity, while rural areas maintain slower, traditional rhythms. Mexican cuisine, music, and festivals are integral to the social fabric and celebrated worldwide. The blend of indigenous and colonial heritage is visible in architecture, language, and customs.

Mexico plays a significant role in regional affairs as a major economy in Latin America. It maintains strong economic ties with the United States and Canada through trade agreements. The country also engages actively with other Latin American nations on political and cultural issues. Mexican influence extends globally through its diaspora and cultural exports like film and food.
