Dominica passport ranks 60th globally with 136-point mobility score
Published by: Passportreports.Org.
ROSEAU, Dominica - Dominica’s passport is ranked 60th globally in the 2026 Passport Reports index, with a mobility score of 136 and access to 68.7% of destinations worldwide without a conventional pre-departure visa. The Dominica passport ranking shows 94 destinations available visa-free, 36 through visa-on-arrival or other simplified-entry arrangements, and six through electronic travel authorisation. A further 62 destinations require a visa before travel. The figures place Dominica in the upper half of the global table while also showing clear differences between regions.
The 136-point mobility score is the sum of destinations classified as visa-free, visa on arrival or simplified entry, and eTA access: 94 + 36 + 6. That total is one point below Dominica’s 2025 mobility score of 137. The historical series in the report shows the passport ranked 55th globally in 2025 before moving to 60th in 2026. The report’s update log also records a more recent shift from 59th to 60th on 31 August 2026.
Strong Caribbean and European access
Dominica’s strongest regional result is in the Caribbean, where the report records 100% access across the 15 other destinations in its outbound regional set, all of them visa-free. That includes Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. The regional result aligns with Dominica’s ninth-place position among 16 Caribbean passports in the report’s regional ranking.
Europe is the next-strongest major region in the report. Dominica has visa-free access to 42 of 47 European destinations covered, equal to 89.4% of the region, while five require a visa. The visa-free group includes most Schengen-area destinations, and the report’s key-destination panel separately lists the Schengen Area as visa-free for Dominica passport holders. By contrast, the United Kingdom is listed as requiring a visa.
Access varies sharply by region
South America also shows broad access, with 10 of 12 destinations available without a conventional pre-departure visa. Nine are visa-free and one, Bolivia, is listed under visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry arrangements. That produces an 83.3% regional access rate. Several South American destinations also carry comparatively long permitted stays in the report, including Guyana, Peru and Suriname at up to 180 days.
In North America, excluding Dominica itself from the destination count, 16 of 22 destinations are visa-free and six require a visa, producing a 72.7% access rate. The United States and Canada are among the destinations listed as requiring a visa, while a number of Caribbean and Central American destinations are visa-free. Dominica is ranked 14th among 23 North American passports in the report’s continental table.
Oceania records a 71.4% access rate: four destinations are visa-free and six are available through visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry arrangements, while four require a visa. The report lists Fiji and Vanuatu as visa-free for stays of up to 120 days, while Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu appear among the simplified-entry group. Australia and New Zealand are among the destinations listed as requiring a visa. Africa is more mixed. The report shows 12 visa-free destinations, 18 visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry destinations and three eTA destinations, giving access to 33 of 54 destinations, or 61.1%. Twenty-one African destinations require a visa. Examples of visa-free access include Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia, while several countries including Burundi, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Mozambique, Nigeria and Sierra Leone are listed under visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry arrangements.
Asia is evenly divided: 25 of 50 destinations are accessible without a conventional pre-departure visa and 25 require one, for a 50.0% access rate. The accessible group comprises 11 visa-free destinations, 11 visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry destinations and three eTA destinations. China, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Uzbekistan are among the visa-free examples in the report, while Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, Laos, Maldives, Nepal and Vietnam appear in the simplified-entry category.
Central Asia shows 40.0% access, with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan visa-free and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan listed as requiring a visa. The Middle East is more restrictive for the Dominica passport in the report, with a 29.4% access rate: two destinations are visa-free, two are available through visa-on-arrival or simplified entry, one uses eTA, and 12 require a visa. The Gulf states form the most restrictive regional block in the data, with all six destinations listed as requiring a visa before travel.
Contextual rankings put the result in perspective
Beyond the global ranking, Dominica places 21st among 60 passports from countries where English is an official language and 22nd among 40 parliamentary republics. It ranks sixth among six countries using the Eastern Caribbean dollar. Among international groupings, the report places Dominica 64th among 159 World Trade Organization members, ninth among 14 CARICOM countries, 18th among 33 CELAC countries, 21st among 56 Commonwealth countries, and 24th among 132 G77 countries.
The report also gives Dominica a welcoming-country rank of 26th among 199 countries. This indicator measures how easily foreign passport holders can enter Dominica and is distinct from the outward mobility of Dominica’s own passport. That distinction is also reflected in the report’s treatment of Dominica visa requirements for incoming travellers. The two measures should not be read as the same thing: one describes how Dominica passport holders are treated abroad, while the other concerns how foreign passport holders are treated when entering Dominica.
Reciprocity signals
The reciprocity section identifies two destinations in the opposite-direction category: the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Their passports are shown as requiring a visa for entry to Dominica, while Dominica passport holders receive visa-free or otherwise simplified access to those destinations. The report also lists a much broader group of countries where their passport holders can enter Dominica with easier access while Dominica passport holders face a visa requirement in return. The data is presented as a reciprocity signal rather than as a judgment on the policies involved.
Taken together, the 2026 data shows a Dominica passport with comparatively broad travel reach but uneven regional access. Its strongest results are in the Caribbean, where all other destinations in the report’s regional set are visa-free, and in Europe, where 42 of 47 destinations are visa-free. Its weakest regional results are in the Gulf, where all six destinations require a visa, and the Middle East, where 12 of 17 destinations require one. Globally, the passport’s 136-point mobility score combines 94 visa-free destinations, 36 visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry destinations and six eTA destinations, placing Dominica 60th in the 2026 ranking.
