How passports are ranked?
The primary yardstick for measuring a country's passport strength is determined by how many countries or destinations its holder can travel to without a prior visa. This means that how many countries grant visa-on-arrival to citizens of that country. Visa-on-arrival is mostly granted to friendly countries. The data is provided by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
