Henley & Partners has recently updated its annual ranking of the world’s passports, known as the Henley Passport Index, for the year 2025.
199 passports from around the world are ranked according to the freedom of movement they offer their holders, i.e. their ability to provide visa-free access to as many destinations around the world as possible.
The index is based on the number of visa-free destinations and the data used comes directly from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The Tunisian passport is ranked 73rd in the world in the Henley Passport Index 2025, with a visa-free score of 69. This is two places down from the previous edition.
Compared to its neighbors, it is outranked by Morocco, which is ranked 69th in the world with a score of 73.
Algeria ranks 86th with a score of 56, closely followed by Mauritania (84th) with a score of 58.
The Egyptian passport is ranked 90th in the world with a score of 52, while the Libyan passport is one of the lowest in the rankings at 100th with a Visa Free Score of just 40.
