International Visa Restrictions Index

The Henley Visa Restrictions Index is a global ranking of countries according to travel freedom their citizens enjoy. Henley & Partners has analyzed the visa regulations of all the countries and territories in the world.

It has created an index which ranks countries according to
the visa-free access its citizens enjoy to other countries.

This is the first time that a global ranking shows the
international travel freedom of the citizens of the various countries as well as the international relations and status of individual countries relative to others.

In today's globalized world, visa restrictions play an important role in controlling the movement of foreign nationals across borders. Almost all countries now require visas from certain non-nationals who wish to enter their territory.

Visa requirements are also an expression of the relationships between individual nations, and generally reflect the relations and status of a country within the international community of nations.




The UK, Denmark and Sweden have been ranked as the top three countries respectively as per the index (with a score of 166, 164 and 163 respectively).
