Australia gives its passport holders broad travel room in 2026: 7th globally, with 182 destinations in reach through simplified entry routes. The rank has edged up from 9th place in 2006. Access has widened meaningfully, from 120 destinations then to 182 now. The wider scoring backs that up: 93 for global strength and 85 for openness. The useful part is the visa-free base: 134 destinations, including Japan, South Korea, and Albania. Visa on arrival adds another 40 options, with examples like Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Bahrain. Rules change, so travellers should still confirm the final entry requirement with the relevant embassy or government site before travel.
