About the Madagascar Passport

#59Rank, shared with 5
97Mobility score
29Visa-free
49%Of world destinations

Madagascar ranks 59th, placing its passport in the lower tier of the global table. Holders can visit 29 countries visa-free, and total mobility reaches 97 destinations when eTAs, visas on arrival, and e-Visas are included. Africa is the strongest region at 13 visa-free destinations, followed by North America at 10, while Europe offers no visa-free entry at all.

Among the key destinations we track, Singapore is the only one open without a visa. Australia and the United Arab Emirates can be entered with an e-Visa, but France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan, and China all require a visa arranged in advance. That leaves many trips dependent on lengthy applications. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 82 destinations, a very large change for a passport at this level.
