Source: Passport Index mirror dataset (MIT, licence), dataset last updated 2026-02-17, retrieved 2026-10-18, page generated 2026-10-18. This is a third-party aggregation, not per-country official gazettes. It is a different source from the hand-verified mainland-China passport snapshot (2025-01-15) on our country pages; where they disagree we show both side by side on the China page instead of hiding one. Rules change often - always confirm with the destination's official immigration channel before travelling.

FAQ

How many destinations can a Italy passport enter visa-free?

Of the 64 destinations we cover, 55 are visa-free or visa on arrival (48 visa-free, 7 on arrival), plus 6 requiring only a travel authorisation. The denominator is 64 destinations, not the 199 worldwide - do not read this as a global passport ranking.

Where are the visa-free stay limits?

Each destination shows the stay length stated by the dataset. Where no length is given (for example EU freedom of movement) the entry reads visa-free without a day count. Limits are set by the destination and can vary by nationality, purpose and port of entry - the official channel decides.

Do travel authorisations and e-visas count as visa-free?

No. A travel authorisation is an online registration, usually approved in minutes, and is not a visa. An e-visa is an online application that must be approved - substantively a visa. We list them separately so "apply first" is not counted as "walk on".
