Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Cyprus is currently ranked as 24T, with a total score of 104.00. Cyprus passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Cyprus 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 Cyprus 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 Cyprus 50% in total score
For the Cyprus 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 Cyprus a Travel score of 170 as there are 120 countries that Cyprus passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 44 countries that allow Cyprus passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 6 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Cyprus passport holders can enter a total of 170 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 170 destinations, there are 80 additional destinations which Cyprus passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.
Taxation in Cyprus 20% in total score
For the Cyprus 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 Cyprus a Taxation score of 30, meaning that Cyprus allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.
