Nomad Passport Index Ranking

The passport of Estonia is currently ranked as 22T, with a total score of 104.50. Estonia passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Estonia 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 Estonia 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.
