Nomad Passport Index Ranking

The passport of Brazil is currently ranked as 44T, with a total score of 99.00. Brazil passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Brazil 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 Brazil 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 Brazil ^{50% in total score}

For the Brazil 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 Brazil a Travel score of 164 as there are 110 countries that Brazil passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 48 countries that allow Brazil passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 6 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Brazil passport holders can enter a total of 164 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 164 destinations, there are 86 additional destinations which Brazil passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.

For the Brazil 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 Brazil a Taxation score of 30, meaning that Brazil allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.
