About the ranking of the most valuable passports in the world

For 16 years, the Passport Index has presented a study with the aim of helping travelers classify countries by the way in which they can freely travel around the world without the need for a visa.

The site divides countries by passport groups. According to the implemented system, passports are classified by points, which are achieved by accumulating the countries to which the document gives access without the need for a visa.

When the sum is done, we arrive at the Visa Free Score. The higher it is, the more powerful the passport.
