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 Sweden

Sweden occupies the eastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. Its long coastline faces the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia. Dense forests, countless lakes, and rocky archipelagos define much of the terrain. The country extends far above the Arctic Circle, where the midnight sun and polar night occur.

Daily life in Swedish cities revolves around a balance of work and leisure. Stockholm blends historic buildings with sleek modern architecture and green spaces. Residents often take breaks for fika, a coffee-and-pastry ritual that encourages social connection. The society places a strong emphasis on equality, environmental awareness, and personal space.

Sweden is a member of the European Union but chooses not to adopt the euro currency. It maintains a longstanding tradition of military non-alignment and active peace diplomacy. The country participates in global climate initiatives and humanitarian aid programs. Its passport grants entry to many countries, reflecting its well-connected international role.
