Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Dominica is currently ranked as 66, with a total score of 87.50. Dominica passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Dominica 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 Dominica 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.
