Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Turkey is currently ranked as 83T, with a total score of 80.00. Turkey passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Turkey 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 Turkey 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 Turkey 50% in total score
For the Turkey 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 Turkey a Travel score of 128 as there are 70 countries that Turkey passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries), 51 countries that allow Turkey passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) and 7 electronic travel authorization (eTA) destinations. Altogether, Turkey passport holders can enter a total of 128 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. Separate from these 128 destinations, there are 122 additional destinations which Turkey passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.
Taxation in Turkey 20% in total score
For the Turkey 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 Turkey a Taxation score of 30, meaning that Turkey allows citizens to relocate to avoid tax.

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.
