Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Gambia is currently ranked as 147, with a total score of 47.00. Gambia passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Gambia 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 Gambia 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.

Altogether, Gambia passport holders can enter a total of 72 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 72 destinations, there are 178 additional destinations which Gambia passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.

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 Gambia a Taxation score of 20, meaning that Gambia allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.
