South Africa
The South African passport is currently ranked 52nd among global passports, according to the Guide Passport Ranking Index. The South Africa passport ranking is due to the degree of global entry it guarantees to South African passport holders, who may travel visa-free to 102 countries, but who otherwise need a visa to access 127 countries globally.
National passports are ranked according to how many countries a holder can access visa-free. The South Africa passport ranking therefore reflects the number of visa-free countries accessible to South African passport holders. Visa-free countries include those where entry is possible without a visa, and with a visa on arrival / electronic travel authorization (eTA).
