Methodology & Data Sources

How to read CheckerPassport's 2026 passport dataset, rankings and visa-access categories.

What the dataset contains

The supplied CheckerPassport dataset covers 199 passports. Each passport has a mobility score, global rank and destination-level access classification.

Visa-freeVisa on arrivalE-visa / eTAVisa required

How categories are represented

The site's embedded dataset uses compact route codes for each destination. The passport pages expand those records into four user-facing categories: Visa-free, Visa on arrival, E-visa / eTA, and Visa required. The page totals are derived from the supplied dataset rather than invented figures.

Mobility score and ranking

Each passport in the supplied dataset has a Mobility Score and a Global Rank. The rank shown on a passport page is the value contained in the supplied dataset. CheckerPassport should not present a score as an official government measure.

Verification and sources

Destination visa rules can change. A result on CheckerPassport is an independent information record and should be confirmed with the destination's official immigration authority, embassy, consulate or official visa portal before travel.

Where an official source is available, it should be linked at the individual result level. This site should never imply that CheckerPassport itself issues visas or guarantees entry.

Statistics

Approval and refusal statistics are different from visa-access classifications. Statistics should retain their original reporting period and source, and should not be treated as a guarantee of an individual applicant's outcome.

Important: The dataset supplied with this site is the source used for the current 2026 passport scores, ranks and route totals. Always confirm a final travel requirement with the destination authority.

Corrections
