eVisa (Simplified online application for visas)

An eVisa allows you to apply for a visa entirely online, without the need for in-person embassy visits. It’s fast, efficient, and often issued within a few days.

ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization, Seamless travel with pre-approved entry)

An ETA is an electronic approval linked to your passport that permits travel to specific countries. It’s typically applied for online and is simpler and quicker than traditional visas.

Visa Required (Destinations requiring a traditional visa application)

Some countries require travelers to obtain a visa in advance through a formal application process, which may include interviews, documentation, and embassy visits.

Visa on Arrival (VOA or eVOA, Countries offering visas upon entry)

These destinations issue visas upon your arrival at the airport or border checkpoint. Travelers need to meet basic requirements and may have to pay a fee to get the visa issued on the spot.
There is also an option to apply for it online.

Visa-Free (Countries you can visit without a visa)

Certain countries allow entry without requiring any visa, meaning travelers can visit these destinations without needing prior visa application or approvals. This offers the ultimate convenience for passport holders.

FAQs

Why is my passport rank important?

A higher passport rank means easier travel to more countries without visa requirements, giving you greater freedom and flexibility when traveling.

How is the passport rank determined?

Passport rank is determined by counting how many countries you can visit visa-free or with visa-on-arrival access. The more countries, the stronger the passport.

How often do passport rankings change?

Passport rankings can change frequently, usually due to changes in visa policies or international agreements. We update the rankings regularly to keep you informed.

What does it mean if my passport has a low rank?

If your passport has a low rank, it means you may need visas to travel to more countries. It can make international travel more time-consuming and expensive.

Can I improve my passport's rank?

You cannot directly change your passport’s rank. However, countries can improve their rank by negotiating better visa agreements or changing travel policies.

Does this checker show the exact visa policy for each country?

The checker shows the general visa-free or visa-on-arrival access for each country, but it’s always a good idea to double-check specific visa policies before traveling.

Does the passport rank affect my chances of getting a visa?

A higher-ranked passport may make it easier to get visas for countries that are more restrictive. However, you may still need to apply for a visa, depending on the country’s specific entry requirements.

What is the difference between visa-free and visa-on-arrival?

Visa-free means you can enter a country without needing a visa, while visa-on-arrival means you can get a visa at the airport or border once you arrive in the country.

Are there any special passports that offer additional benefits?

Some countries offer “diplomatic” or “official” passports that may allow broader visa-free access, but these are typically available to government employees, not the general public.

Can the passport rank change due to political events?

Yes, political events such as new visa agreements or diplomatic disputes can affect a country’s passport rank by either adding or restricting visa-free access to other nations.

Does my passport rank reflect my citizenship status or residency?

Your passport rank is based on the country of your passport, not your residency status. A resident of one country might have a passport from another country with a different rank.
