📄 Every country your documents open — in one PDF

That number counts the passport alone. Any visa or residence permit you already hold quietly adds more — often a dozen or two.

We hand-build it for your exact set of documents: all 198 destinations, every unlock rule with the official source next to it, and the one application that would open the most new countries for you. $19, within 24 hours.

It is called the Personal Mobility Report. Same verified rules you see on this page — gathered for your documents, with the source for each one so you can check it yourself.
