Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Sweden is currently ranked as 14T, with a total score of 106.00. Sweden passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Sweden 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 Sweden 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.

Altogether, Sweden passport holders can enter a total of 176 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 176 destinations, there are 74 additional destinations which Sweden passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.
