Nomad Capitalist Passport Index Ranking
The Kosovo Passport is currently ranked Number 111 in the Nomad Capitalist Passport Index with a total score of 63.5. This ranking, relative to other passports, has been calculated by considering the government of Kosovo’s approach not just to travel, but to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom.
