Dutch passport

Dutch passport is impossible not to mention in this list. The Netherlands passport ranks highly due to the level of global admission it provides to its holders, who can visit 190 countries without a visa but must obtain one in order to enter 25 additional nations.

National passports are graded based on how many nations their holders can enter without a visa. Therefore, the number of countries that grant Dutch passport holders access to visa-free travel is reflected in the ranking of Netherlands passports. Visa-free nations are those into which one may enter with a visa on arrival or electronic travel authorisation (eTA).

The passport conforms with the requirements for European Union passports (EU Council Regulation 2252/04). Every passport issued as of 26 August 2006 is a biometric passport with a contactless smartcard RFID chip implanted for storing biometric information. Every person who lives in the Netherlands is also a member of the EU. The nationality gives the holder unrestricted travel and residency privileges throughout the European Union, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland.
