This may negatively affect a country’s arrival numbers.
According to our passport ranking, Chile boasts the best travel document of any country in North or South America. As of 11 January 2020, holders of a United States passport can visit 184 countries and territories without a visa or with a visa on arrival, ranking it eighth in terms of travel freedom (tied with Belgium, Greece, Norway and United Kingdom) according to the Henley Passport Index. This means we didn’t account for any country’s political stability, wealth of its citizens, freedom of press and speech, ease of doing business, or any other factors.And we didn’t account for the ability to move to another country with the passport.
After combing through dozens of different ways to assess a country’s attractiveness, we used the following two criteria:The number of international arrivals is the first criteria we use to measure the attractiveness of a country as a travel destination.For example, more than 84 million people visited France in 2016 (more than any other country that year). India’s attractiveness score is 3.12, but a Canadian passport will get only half of this score (1.56). USA's attractiveness score: 19.04 (9.6% of the world's total) )For example, India has always been a very tough country to access without a visa. Mikolajn/Shutterstock A passport from a country in good global standing is a powerful thing, allowing its holder to move across borders without dealing with the nightmarish bureaucracy of a visa application.
The right tab “Methodology,” explains how we arrived at those rankings.A country's passport score is the sum of the attractiveness scores of all countries it grants access to and is dependent on its visa regime:A simple visa-free country count is the traditional way of measuring a passport's quality as a travel document.In 2019, the maximum possible simple visa-free country-count score is 197.
)World (198.0) = Europe (82.4) + Asia (58.04) + The Americas (38.34) + Middle East and North Africa (11.3) + Sub-Saharan Africa (5.40) + Oceania (2.52)So, with attractiveness scores of all the countries on the planet set, we then could measure any passport’s quality as a travel document.According to our calculations, passport A has a Travel Freedom score of 25.85 (the number we get after adding the attractiveness scores of China and France).And passport B has a Travel freedom score of 0.00367 (after adding the attractiveness scores of Comoros and Tuvalu).We see that passport A as a travel document is 6,812 times (25.85 / 0.00367) more valuable than passport B.This is a much better way to measure a passport’s quality as a travel document than simply counting its number of visa-free country access.Still, we felt like something was missing in our formula.Naturally, you have full access to your own country – all the way from Anchorage to Key West and even Guam and Puerto Rico.And since you have access to your own country, we should include the United States’ attractiveness score of 20.11 in the US passport’s final Travel Freedom score as well.So, if passport A belongs to the United States, then the passport’s Travel Freedom score is not 25.85, but rather 45.96 (25.85 + 20.11) after we add in the USA’s own attractiveness score.We added China’s attractiveness score of 13.84 to the Chinese passport’s Travel Freedom score, 12.01 to the French passport’s Travel Freedom Index, and so on.A passport’s score is the sum of the attractiveness scores of all countries it grants access to and is dependent on its visa regime:E-visas - a new development quickly spreading around the worldAustralia pioneered e-visas (aka electronic visas) back in 2012.It was almost revolutionary – the visa application process could be done entirely online.
