What This Map Shows
Visa-free counts assume the holder uses the granted passport. Residency-only programmes show Schengen-only access where applicable. Always confirm requirements with the destination's consulate before travel.
Visa-free Destinations
Destinations the selected passport can visit without a visa, shown country by country.
Schengen Access (Residency-only)
Residency programmes that do not grant a passport show the Schengen travel access the residence permit allows.
Per-passport Country Count
A running count of visa-free destinations and Schengen states for the passport you select.
Side-by-side Comparison
Overlay a second passport to see which destinations both reach and where each one has the edge.

How this map is maintained
Sourced from Consular Policy, Not Generic Indices.
The Henley and Arton indices are great for headline counts. For an investor making a six-figure decision we go one level deeper, primary-source consular policy, ETA / e-visa scheme changes, and the specific quirks each passport carries.
Consular Policy First
Each destination row is verified against the actual consular page or government press release, not a single passport-strength aggregator.
ETA + E-visa Nuance
EU ETIAS (2026), US ESTA, UK ETA, Australia ETA, we surface "electronic authorisation required" separately from full visa-required, because the cost / friction is very different.

Frequently asked questions
Does "visa-free" include electronic travel authorisations like ETIAS / ESTA / ETA?
In our default count, yes, these are surfaced as "ETA required" in the hover panel so the cost / friction difference is explicit. A pure visa-free entry and an ETA entry are not the same operationally.
Does the count change based on the holder's prior nationality?
It can. Some destinations apply additional checks to holders of certain prior nationalities. The map shows the passport's nominal access; an advisor can validate for your specific holder profile.
Why do residency programmes show Schengen-only access?
Until naturalisation, a Golden Visa or RBI holder still uses their original passport, except they gain visa-free movement within the Schengen Area. We surface that overlay specifically for residency programmes.
How often is the data refreshed?
A senior advisor reviews each passport entry quarterly and after any material policy change (e.g. new ETA roll-outs). Material updates land on the /changes log.
Can I compare more than two programmes?
Not directly in the visualisation, the four-state colouring is optimised for two. Use the Compare tool for richer multi-programme breakdowns including non-travel factors.
Where does the visa free data come from?
The map uses public passport access data and is reviewed regularly. Entry rules can change at short notice, so always confirm with the destination before you travel.
Can I compare two passports on the map?
Yes. Pick a programme and a second programme to compare the travel access of the two passports.
