About the Bahamas Passport
The Bahamian passport ranks 12th by mobility, which puts it in the strong tier. Holders enjoy 108 visa-free destinations, and the overall total is 168 when eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa options are added. Europe leads with 42 visa-free destinations, Africa follows with 18, and Oceania is the weakest region with five. Travelers holding it rarely need to plan far ahead for most trips.
Among key destinations, France and the Schengen area, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore and Brazil are visa-free. The United Kingdom and Canada require an eTA, and Australia is open through an e-Visa. The United States is the notable exception, as Bahamian citizens still need a visa there. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 14 destinations, which would help mainly with the remaining gaps.
