Passport Rank
104
According to the SovSpot Passport Ranking Index, the Iranian passport now ranks 104th. It is regarded as one of the world's lowest-ranking passports. Only 39 countries offer visa-free travel to Iranian passport holders, including Sri Lanka, Ecuador, Turkey, and the Seychelles. An Iranian passport holder is required to obtain a visa for 190 places before going. The passport raking is low on the overall global mobility score because of this. Iranians must apply for a visa in advance for key destinations such as the United States and the European Union. Applicants must show documentation such as evidence of funds and a return airline ticket when applying for a visa.

The number of countries Iran passport holders can enter without a visa (i.e. visa-free countries) is added to the number of countries Iran passport holders can enter by obtaining a visa on arrival (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) or an electronic travel authorization (i.e. visa-on-arrival countries) (eTA). There are now 11 visa-free countries for Iran passport holders, 27 visa-on-arrival countries for Iran passport holders, and 1 eTA destination. In total, Iran passport holders can visit 39 countries without a visa, via visa on arrival, or using an eTA. As a result, Iran's passport is currently ranked 104 in the world. Apart from these Iran visa-free and visa-on-arrival countries, there are 190 more countries where Iran passport holders require either a physical visa or an eVisa (i.e. visa required countries).
