Nomad Passport Index Ranking

The passport of Monaco is currently ranked as 24T, with a total score of 104.00. Monaco passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Monaco 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 Monaco 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.
