About the Chad Passport
Chad sits at 63 in the ranking, so its passport falls in the lower tier. It allows visa-free entry to 23 destinations, and total mobility comes to 93 when visa on arrival and e-Visa access are included. Africa is by far the best region with 14 visa-free destinations, and Oceania is the weakest with a single one. Visa on arrival applies to 27 destinations and e-Visa to 43, so the reachable range is much wider than the visa-free list alone suggests for Chadian holders.
Chadian travelers can visit Singapore without a visa and can use an e-Visa for Australia and the United Arab Emirates. France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan, China and Brazil all require a visa in advance, and that is true for 104 countries in total. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 91 destinations.
Visa-Free Access by Region
Chad passport holders can enter 23 destinations visa-free or with a simple eTA. Destinations with a green outline have residency or citizenship programs you can explore.
