In the global passport ranking, Moldova is ranked 78th. The OSCE ranking compares only the passports of participating states, not the rules governing their membership or travel between them.
Luxembourg takes first place, followed by Spain and Switzerland. Romania is in 22nd place. Turkey (46th place) is immediately ahead of Moldova in the table, followed by Albania (48th place).
Passport Reports is an independent research and publishing platform that publishes passport reports on 199 countries in 34 languages. Transparency is ensured through the open publication of ranking criteria and the application of uniform rules to all passports.
The global ranking is based on the total number of countries accessible without a visa, via an electronic travel authorisation, or with a visa on arrival. In the event of a tie, the number of visa-free destinations is compared first, followed by destinations requiring an electronic travel authorisation and those requiring a visa on arrival; if all indicators are identical, the passports share the same position.
Passport Reports’ comparison shows the position of each participating State in a separate OSCE ranking, which should be distinguished from the global table. The full list is provided below in the order in which it was published.
