Nomad Passport Index Ranking

The passport of Pakistan is currently ranked as 195, with a total score of 32.00. Pakistan passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Pakistan 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 Pakistan 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 Pakistan ^{50% in total score}

For the Pakistan 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 Pakistan a Travel score of 46 as there are 9 countries that Pakistan passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 33 countries that allow Pakistan passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 4 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Pakistan passport holders can enter a total of 46 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 46 destinations, there are 204 additional destinations which Pakistan passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.

Based on that data, we assigned Pakistan a Taxation score of 20, meaning that Pakistan allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.
