Nomad Capitalist Passport Index Ranking
The Taiwan Passport is currently ranked Number 81 in the Nomad Capitalist Passport Index with a total score of 83. This ranking, relative to other passports, has been calculated by considering the government of Taiwan’s approach not just to travel, but to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom.
