Nomad Capitalist Passport Index Ranking
The Belize Passport is currently ranked Number 101T in the Nomad Capitalist Passport Index with a total score of 68. This ranking, relative to other passports, has been calculated by considering the government of Belize’s approach not just to travel, but to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom.
