Methodology & sources

Visa-requirement data derives from the open Passport Index dataset (a 199×199 matrix of entry rules). "Open" counts destinations reachable without arranging a visa in advance: visa-free, visa on arrival, or eTA — the same methodology used by major travel-freedom indices. e-Visa destinations (which require an online application before travel) are counted separately and not included in the "open" score. Figures reflect the latest data snapshot; entry rules change, so each passport profile shows a "last verified" date.
