While Ireland reaches the top of the list of the world’s most powerful passports in 2025, Angola finds itself near the bottom, ranking 140th (tied)<\/strong> out of 199 countries and territories evaluated, according to the Nomad Passport Index 2025<\/strong>, published by the international consultancy Nomad Capitalist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The index assesses passports based on five key criteria: visa-free travel access (50%)<\/strong>, taxation system (20%)<\/strong>, global perception (10%)<\/strong>, dual citizenship opportunities (10%)<\/strong>, and personal freedom (10%)<\/strong>. Angola received a total score of 49.00 points<\/strong>, placing it well below the global average and behind several other African nations.<\/p>\n

Travel freedom is the main obstacle<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Angolan passport holders have access to only 64 destinations worldwide<\/strong> \u2014 including 21 visa-free countries, 38 countries offering visa on arrival, and 5 destinations requiring electronic travel authorization (eTA). In contrast, top-ranking countries like Ireland, Switzerland, and Portugal<\/strong> offer visa-free access to over 180 countries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Taxation system is a positive aspect<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Despite its overall low ranking, Angola performs moderately well in the taxation<\/strong> category, earning 40 points<\/strong> due to its policy of not taxing foreign income of resident citizens<\/strong> \u2014 an attractive feature for expats and international investors.<\/p>\n

Other factors keep Angola at a disadvantage<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the areas of global perception, dual citizenship, and personal freedom<\/strong>, Angola scored just 30 points<\/strong> each. This suggests Angolan citizens face challenges related to how they are perceived globally, along with restrictions on personal freedom and limited flexibility in holding multiple nationalities.<\/p>\n

Ireland leads for the first time<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The biggest surprise of the 2025 index is Ireland\u2019s rise to the top<\/strong>, surpassing countries like Switzerland and Greece<\/strong>. The Irish passport stood out for its global acceptance<\/strong>, competitive tax policies<\/strong>, strong international reputation<\/strong>, and respect for individual freedoms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
