OPEC Countries Passport Rankings 2026

How Do We Rank It?

The OPEC Ranking compares only passports from countries included in OPEC. The results are re-ranked from 1 within OPEC.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 OPEC Countries

OPEC is an intergovernmental organization of petroleum-exporting countries founded in Baghdad in 1960 by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. It was created to coordinate petroleum policies and strengthen dialogue around a market that affects producers, consumers and the wider global economy. Its membership has changed over time as national policies and energy conditions have evolved. This page uses OPEC membership as a passport comparison group, not as a shared travel or visa area.

OPEC works through conferences, ministerial meetings, technical analysis and cooperation among oil-producing states. Its public role is connected to oil market stability, long-term energy planning and the balance between supply, demand and investment. The organization does not issue a common passport and does not create common entry rules for travelers. Each passport in the group keeps its own mobility profile under national rules and separate international arrangements.

The OPEC ranking view compares only the passports included in this group, while the global view keeps the same passports inside the worldwide passport index. The figures come from the central Passport Reports system and cover visa-free destinations, visa on arrival, eTA access and visa-required destinations. The site-wide ranking method and tie-break rules remain unchanged. When central mobility records are updated, the numbers on this page update automatically.
