Passport strength in Ghana
Ghana's passport ranks #66 worldwide — 66 destinations visa-free.
This is the passport you’d gain by naturalizing here — a long-horizon payoff measured in years of residency, not a signal for the move itself.
- Mobility
- #6666 destinations
- GDP reach
- #1564.0% of world GDP
- Heritage
- #119195 of 1,353 UNESCO sites
Good to know — a mobility rank counts how many destinations you can enter, not how useful they are; a strong passport can still gate the one place you care about. Learn how we measure this →
