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.
