Frequently asked questions
-
A ranking of passports by how many destinations a holder can enter without a prior visa — counting visa-free, visa-on-arrival, and electronic-travel-authorisation entries. Higher visa-free count = higher rank.
-
The Henley Passport Index, the standard cross-border-mobility dataset published by Henley & Partners, refreshed annually with quarterly updates. We cache the data at build time so the page loads instantly.
-
Multiple passports often share a tier (e.g. several with 188 visa-free destinations). Henley's official methodology assigns the same rank to ties, then jumps the next rank by the size of the tie group.
-
Yes — Henley's score counts everything you can do without a pre-issued embassy visa: visa-free, visa-on-arrival, eTA. Strict 'visa-required' destinations don't count toward the score.
