Nomad Capitalist Passport Index Ranking
The Kazakhstan Passport is currently ranked Number 114T in the Nomad Capitalist Passport Index with a total score of 61.5. This ranking, relative to other passports, has been calculated by considering the government of Kazakhstan’s approach not just to travel, but to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom.

Travel Destinations from Kazakhstan 50% in total score
For the Kazakhstan Travel Score calculation, we relied on government travel data from 199 passport-issuing countries and territories, combined with real-time intelligence and proprietary research. This factor includes a Mobility Score (MS) measuring ease of travel, which focuses on visa-free (VF) travel, visa on arrival (VOA), eTA and eVisa (if issued within three days). Based on that data, we assigned Kazakhstan a Travel Score of 93 which means that Kazakhstan passport holders can enter a total of 93 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival or via an eTA.

For the Kazakhstan Perception Score calculation, we relied on the World Happiness Report, the Human Development Index and subjective factors from our networks’ experience to determine how each country’s citizens are perceived and recognised. Based on that data, we assigned Kazakhstan a Perception Score of 40, meaning that Kazakhstan citizens experience intermediate hostility.
