Laos Passport Ranking – Visa Free Access to 46 Countries
The Laos passport ranks 95th globally in 2025, providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 46 destinations worldwide. This represents modest travel mobility compared to stronger passports, with access primarily concentrated in Southeast Asian nations and select countries offering simplified entry procedures. Laotian passport holders typically require advance visas for travel to most Western countries, limiting spontaneous international travel opportunities. Despite its lower ranking, the passport offers adequate regional mobility within ASEAN member states and neighboring Asian countries.
