Nepal Passport Ranking – Visa Free Access to 36 Countries

The Nepal passport ranks 101st globally in 2025, offering visa-free access to 36 destinations worldwide. Issued by the Government of Nepal, this travel document has maintained relatively consistent rankings between 88th and 110th position over the past two decades, with visa-free access ranging from 34 to 40 countries. While Nepali passport holders face moderate travel restrictions compared to stronger passports, they can still access select countries in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean without prior visa arrangements. The passport's limited global mobility reflects Nepal's developing nation status, though citizens can obtain visas on arrival or e-visas for many additional destinations to expand their travel opportunities.
