Methodology

Scores come 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 — out of 198, the same approach used by major travel-freedom indices. e-Visa destinations are counted separately. Figures reflect the latest snapshot; entry rules change, so each passport profile shows a "last verified" date.
