Nomad Capitalist Passport Index Ranking
The Zimbabwe Passport is currently ranked Number 139T in the Nomad Capitalist Passport Index with a total score of 51. This ranking, relative to other passports, has been calculated by considering the government of Zimbabwe’s approach not just to travel, but to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom.

Travel Destinations from Zimbabwe 50% in total score
For the Zimbabwe Travel Score calculation, we relied on government travel data from 199 passport-issuing countries and territories, combined with real-time intelligence and proprietary research. This factor includes a Mobility Score (MS) measuring ease of travel, which focuses on visa-free (VF) travel, visa on arrival (VOA), eTA and eVisa (if issued within three days). Based on that data, we assigned Zimbabwe a Travel Score of 72 which means that Zimbabwe passport holders can enter a total of 72 destinations — either without a visa, through a visa on arrival or via an eTA.
Taxation in Zimbabwe 20% in total score
For the Zimbabwe Taxation Score calculation, we relied on data from our network of tax vendors, news sources and tax authorities. Based on that data, we assigned Zimbabwe a Taxation Score of 40, meaning that Zimbabwe does not tax foreign incomes of resident citizens.
Perception 10% in total score
For the Zimbabwe Perception Score calculation, we relied on the World Happiness Report, the Human Development Index and subjective factors from our networks’ experience to determine how each country’s citizens are perceived and recognised. Based on that data, we assigned Zimbabwe a Perception Score of 20, meaning that Zimbabwe citizens experience intermediate hostility.
Dual Citizenship 10% in total score
For the Zimbabwe Dual Citizenship Score calculation, we relied on embassy data and our experience to assess the ability to hold dual citizenship. Based on that data, we assigned Zimbabwe a Dual Citizenship Score of 30, meaning that Zimbabwe citizens are often allowed to hold other citizenships but with certain restrictions.
Freedom 10% in total score
For the Zimbabwe 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 and expats. Based on that data, we assigned Zimbabwe a Freedom Score of 20, meaning that Zimbabwe citizens have low freedom.
