Mauritania パスポート

The Mauritania passport currently provides travel mobility to 56 destinations worldwide without a prior visa. This includes a combination of visa-free access to 28 countries, such as Malaysia, Senegal, and Singapore, and visa-on-arrival options in 27 locations, including Bangladesh and Ethiopia. Additionally, Mauritanian citizens can utilize Electronic Travel Authorizations (eTA) for entry into Sri Lanka and the Seychelles. Despite these regional advantages in Africa, the passport does not grant visa-free entry to the Schengen Area, requiring a standard visa for travel to most European nations. According to the latest 2026 passport ranking data, the Mauritania passport holds the 75th position globally. This reflects a notable improvement from its 2025 rank of 84 and its 2024 rank of 83. Historical data shows that the passport's visa-free count has generally increased over the last two decades, rising from 39 destinations in 2006 to its current level. With an openness score of 28 and a global score of 15, the Mauritania passport offers moderate mobility, primarily focused on African and Asian territories. For other major destinations, including the United States, United Kingdom, and China, Mauritanian nationals must secure a visa in advance.
