Turkey Passport Ranking

The Turkish passport currently ranks on the 50th powerful passport in the world according to the Guide Passport Ranking Index. It provides visa-free access to 111 destinations. This gives it an overall medium mobility score. Turkish passport holders have visa-free and visas on arrival access to countries such as Brazil, Qatar, Albania and South Korea. This allows almost instant travel worldwide. Turkish passport holders do however require a visa to enter about 118 destinations in the world. Some destinations where visa is required are China and the Entire European Union.

The Turkey passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by adding up the number of countries that allow Turkey passport holders to enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries) and those that allow Turkey passport holders to enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) or an electronic travel authorization (eTA). There are currently a total of 72 Turkey passport visa-free countries, 36 Turkey visa-on-arrival countries, and 3 eTA destinations.

Altogether, Turkey passport holders can enter a total of 111 destinations—either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. As a result, the Turkey passport ranks 50 in the world.

Separate from these Turkey visa-free countries and visa-on-arrival countries, there are 118 additional destinations which Turkey passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa (i.e. visa required countries).

What is Visa-Free Travel? How do you do it?

A trip to any country that does not require you to obtain a visa with your passport is called visa-free travel.
You don’t need to go to the consulate, gather together your documents or pay any fee to get into these countries. You won’t need to worry, ‘What if my application is rejected?’ You just need to buy a ticket and pack your bags.
That’s the answer to the question, ‘How do you travel visa-free?’

You can even travel without a passport!
Do you know there are some countries you can enter without a passport at all? For example, if you are a Turkish citizen, you can enter Georgia, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Ukraine without a passport. Also, don’t forget that the list of countries you can visit without a passport varies according to the type of passport you have! Right now we’re not talking about countries that offer privileges to holders of green, diplomatic and service passports; we’re going to list the visa-free countries for those who are just traveling for pleasure on a normal passport.
