Nigerian Passport Climbs Nine Places In Global Ranking by loosecanon50(m): 3:41pm On Jul 27, 2023

The Nigerian passport has risen nine places in the latest global passport ranking.

In the recently released Henley Passport Index for Q2 2023, the Nigerian passport rose from its previous 100th position to 91st among the 199 countries and 227 travel destinations studied.

The Henley Passport Index assesses the strength of world passports based on the number of destinations its holders can access without a prior visa.

The latest ranking indicates improved global access for Nigerians. However, the number of countries accessible without visas or with visa-on-arrival remained at 46. Findings by our correspondent indicated that the new standing might not reflect real improvement in passport strength but a consequence of other countries losing their earlier rating.

As of June 2022, travellers with Nigerian passports can only traverse 25 countries visa-free.
However, that number rises to 45 destinations when visa-on-arrival or e-visa programmes are added.
