Tunisian Passport Ranks 6th in Africa in 2026 Global Index

Tunisia's passport maintains a stable, intermediate position in the 2026 global passport rankings, securing the 6th spot in Africa and 2nd in the Maghreb region, according to an international report covering 197 countries and territories.

With a score of 46.1 out of 100, the Tunisian passport offers a moderate level of international mobility. It grants visa-free or facilitated access to a limited number of destinations but remains subject to significant visa requirements for many major global travel hubs. This reflects a contrasted reality where international travel is still restricted for many Tunisians.

The global passport landscape continues to be dominated by European nations, with Sweden topping the list. Asia also holds a strong presence with countries like Singapore, the UAE, Japan, and South Korea ranking highly. Conversely, Afghanistan sits at the bottom of the index, illustrating the vast disparities in travel freedom worldwide.

The report emphasizes that a passport's power is no longer solely defined by visa-free access. It now encompasses broader factors such as diplomatic relations, political and economic stability, and bilateral agreements. In this context, Tunisia's consistent ranking signifies a steady, rather than transformative, international standing, highlighting the ongoing structural inequalities in global mobility.
