Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Kyrgyzstan is currently ranked as 149T, with a total score of 46.50. Kyrgyzstan passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Kyrgyzstan 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 Kyrgyzstan 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.

Travel Destinations from Kyrgyzstan 50% in total score
For the Kyrgyzstan Travel score calculation, we relied on data from the IATA, Henley Index, and news sources to rank travel access. We calculate the Travel scores by summing up Visa-free, Visa On Arrival, and eTA countries. Based on that data, we assigned Kyrgyzstan a Travel score of 73 as there are 26 countries that Kyrgyzstan passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 43 countries that allow Kyrgyzstan passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 4 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Kyrgyzstan passport holders can enter a total of 73 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 73 destinations, there are 177 additional destinations which Kyrgyzstan 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 Kyrgyzstan a Taxation score of 20, meaning that Kyrgyzstan allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.
