Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Australia is currently ranked as 40T, with a total score of 101.00. Australia passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Australia government's approach not just to travel, but also to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship, and personal freedom as just the number of countries Australia passport holder may visit won't tell the whole story and you will have to deal with far different requirements to pay tax, live freely, comply with regulations, and avoid scrutiny when traveling.

Travel Destinations from Australia 50% in total score
For the Australia Travel score calculation, we relied on data from the IATA, Henley Index, and news sources to rank travel access. We calculate the Travel scores by summing up Visa-free, Visa On Arrival, and eTA countries. Based on that data, we assigned Australia a Travel score of 172 as there are 113 countries that Australia passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 52 countries that allow Australia passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 7 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Australia passport holders can enter a total of 172 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 172 destinations, there are 78 additional destinations which Australia passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.
Taxation in Australia 20% in total score
For the Australia Taxation score calculation, we relied on data from our network of tax vendors, news sources, and tax authorities themselves. We assigned the lowest score of 10 to countries that tax citizens no matter where they live, scores of 20 or 30 to countries that allow citizens to relocate to avoid tax, 40 to those that don’t tax foreign incomes of resident citizens, and 50 to countries with zero tax. Based on that data, we assigned Australia a Taxation score of 20, meaning that Australia allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.

We assigned the lowest score of 10 to those whose citizens are refused entry to a substantial number of countries and/or whose citizens encounter substantial hostility, scores of 20, 30, and 40 to countries whose citizens experience intermediate hostility, and 50 to countries ranked among the happiest in the world and whose citizens experience minimal hostility. Based on that data, we assigned Australia a Perception score of 30, meaning that Australia citizens experience intermediate hostility.
Dual Citizenship in Australia 10% in total score

We assigned the score of 10 and 20 to countries whose citizens are strictly forbidden to hold other citizenships, scores of 30 and 40 to countries whose citizens are often allowed to hold other citizenships but with certain restrictions, and 50 to countries whose citizens are almost always allowed to hold other citizenships. Based on that data, we assigned Australia a Dual Citizenship score of 50, meaning that Australia citizens are almost always allowed to hold other citizenships.

For the Australia Freedom score calculation, we relied on data and news reports on mandatory military service, government surveillance, press freedom, and other factors to determine the personal freedom of citizens, travelers, and expats, with scores from 10 being the least free and 50 being the freest. We assigned the scores of 10 and 20 to countries whose citizens have low freedom, scores of 30 and 40 to countries whose citizens have intermediate freedom, and 50 to countries whose citizens have total freedom. Based on that data, we assigned Australia a Freedom score of 30, meaning that Australia citizens have intermediate freedom.
