Henley Openness Index 2025

Comparing Border Openness and Visa-Free Travel

The Henley Openness Index ranks all 199 countries and territories worldwide according to the number of nationalities they permit entry to without a prior visa. Use our unique interactive tool to explore the relationship between a country’s openness to foreigners — how many nations it allows to cross its borders visa-free — and its own citizens’ travel freedom, gauged using the Henley Passport Index. Read the methodology here.
