Nomad Passport Index Ranking

The passport of Mauritius is currently ranked as 70T, with a total score of 84.50. Mauritius passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Mauritius 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 Mauritius 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 Mauritius ^{50% in total score}

For the Mauritius 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 Mauritius a Travel score of 139 as there are 96 countries that Mauritius passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 37 countries that allow Mauritius passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 6 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Mauritius passport holders can enter a total of 139 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 139 destinations, there are 111 additional destinations which Mauritius passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.
