The Henley & Partners Passport Index analyzes the visa regulations of 227 countries and territories of the world on a quarterly basis, ranking them by the number of visa-free countries. A country's position in the ranking depends on the number of countries to which its citizens can enter without prior visa application (generally without a visa or with a visa on arrival).
