Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Nepal is currently ranked as 179, with a total score of 39.00. Nepal passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Nepal 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 Nepal 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 Nepal 50% in total score
For the Nepal 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 Nepal a Travel score of 54 as there are 11 countries that Nepal passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 39 countries that allow Nepal passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 4 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Nepal passport holders can enter a total of 54 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 54 destinations, there are 196 additional destinations which Nepal passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.
Taxation in Nepal 20% in total score
For the Nepal Taxation score calculation, we relied on data from our network of tax vendors, news sources, and tax authorities themselves. 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 Nepal a Taxation score of 30, meaning that Nepal allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.

Dual Citizenship in Nepal 10% in total score

We assigned the score of 10 and 20 to countries whose citizens are strictly forbidden to hold other citizenships, scores of 30 and 40 to countries whose citizens are often allowed to hold other citizenships but with certain restrictions, and 50 to countries whose citizens are almost always allowed to hold other citizenships.

For the Nepal Freedom score calculation, we relied on data and news reports on mandatory military service, government surveillance, press freedom, and other factors to determine the personal freedom of citizens, travelers, and expats, with scores from 10 being the least free and 50 being the freest. We assigned the scores of 10 and 20 to countries whose citizens have low freedom, scores of 30 and 40 to countries whose citizens have intermediate freedom, and 50 to countries whose citizens have total freedom. Based on that data, we assigned Nepal a Freedom score of 20, meaning that Nepal citizens have low freedom.
