Burkina Faso Passaporto

The Burkina Faso passport currently provides Burkinabè citizens with access to 57 destinations without a prior visa, consisting of both visa-free and visa-on-arrival locations. As of 2026, the passport ranking is 74th globally, showing an improvement from its 82nd position in 2025. This travel mobility is largely supported by its membership in regional blocs, allowing visa-free entry to African nations such as Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, and Nigeria. Additional access is available through visa-on-arrival in countries like Madagascar, Bolivia, and Ethiopia, while electronic travel authorizations are required for Sri Lanka, Seychelles, and Morocco. Despite its regional strengths, the Burkina Faso passport does not currently have Schengen access, meaning a visa is required for entry into any of the 29 European Schengen Area member states. The country maintains an openness score of 42 and a global score of 21. For destinations where visa-free travel is not permitted, Burkinabè travelers must apply for a standard visa or an e-visa before departure. Common destinations requiring a full visa include the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and most of the European Union. These requirements are essential factors for citizens monitoring their international travel mobility and global ranking.
