Tunisian Passport Ranks 128th Globally with 65 Accessible Destinations

The Tunisian passport has been ranked 128th out of 198 passports globally, with a score of 47.38 points, according to the ATE Passport Index's November 2026 edition. This ranking assesses passports based on seven key pillars, including mobility, security, economy, taxation, digital preparedness, and human rights. The index provides a comprehensive evaluation of passports beyond just the number of visa-free destinations.

The ATE Passport Index evaluates 199 passports, with 198 receiving a ranking, while the Vatican's passport is mentioned without a ranking. The methodology considers 25 indicators across the seven pillars, with a global score out of 100 points. Mobility accounts for 35% of the score, comprising quality and sustainability. The remaining 65% is distributed among life and security, economy and finance, taxation and heritage, digital preparedness, and human rights and stability.

In the Maghreb region, the Tunisian passport ranks behind Morocco but ahead of Algeria, Mauritania, and Libya. Morocco occupies the 126th place with 47.60 points, while Algeria ranks 135th with 44.23 points. Mauritania and Libya are ranked 159th and 173rd, respectively. The Tunisian passport offers access to 65 destinations, placing the country 125th in terms of the number of destinations.

The Tunisian passport's performance varies across the seven pillars. Its best score is in mobility sustainability, with 83.3 points, but it ranks 128th in this category. Life and security score 61.3 points, placing Tunisia 94th, while digital preparedness and human rights score 56.1 and 51.6 points, respectively. Economically, Tunisia ranks 134th with 55 points, and its fiscal score is 44.3 points, placing it 118th.

The ATE Passport Index's methodology differs from other rankings that focus solely on visa-free destinations. The index considers factors such as economic weight, travel restrictions, and losses in access between 2022 and 2026. This approach provides a more comprehensive assessment of a passport's value.

The current edition of the ATE Passport Index, published on November 10, 2026, is based on data collected on November 1 and 2, 2026. The index plans to release updates quarterly and in case of significant changes to visa policies.

The ranking may change over time, and 48 passports, including Ghana's, have at least one pillar score estimated from regional medians, marked with an asterisk in the ranking. However, Tunisia's score does not carry this notation.
