South Korea
The South Korean passport is currently ranked 3rd among global passports, according to the Guide Passport Ranking Index. The South Korea passport ranking is due to the degree of global entry it guarantees to South Korean passport holders, who may travel visa-free to 190 countries, but who otherwise need a visa to access 40 countries globally.
National passports are ranked according to how many countries a holder can access visa-free. The South Korea passport ranking therefore reflects the number of visa-free countries accessible to South Korean passport holders. Visa-free countries include those where entry is possible without a visa, and with a visa on arrival / electronic travel authorization (eTA).
