The Mobility Index.
What a second passport really adds.

Select your nationality and a jurisdiction we advise on. The index estimates combined visa-free reach and, more usefully, identifies the destination networks that open for the first time.

How to read it

Three things the industry’s league tables leave out.

Reach is not the only measure

A passport that opens 150 destinations but has no consular presence in the region you travel through may serve you less well than one with a narrower network and real diplomatic infrastructure.

Networks matter more than counts

Adding Schengen access changes what is possible for a family far more than adding a dozen small states. The index therefore reports which networks open, not simply how many flags.

Policy moves in both directions

Visa-free arrangements are granted and withdrawn on a political calendar. We re-verify the position for your nationality at the point of filing, and again at renewal.

Destination groups and weights

The index groups destinations into the networks that matter to travelling families. Each group carries the approximate number of states it represents.

Weights are indicative and used to estimate incremental reach. They are not a substitute for destination-by-destination verification, which we carry out for every mandate. Index ceiling: 199 destinations.

Beyond the numbers

Bring us the objective. We will bring the jurisdiction.

Mobility is one input. Tax residence, schooling, banking access and succession usually decide the answer.
