5 African countries with the most powerful passports in 2024

Although African passports are generally weak, there are five that stand out.

Your passport for foreign travel is your key to a world of convenient travel. A strong passport guarantees you won’t have to go through onerous immigration procedures at airports or complex visa clearance procedures each time you go.
These are the top 5 African passports, based on data from Henley & Partners for 2024.

  1. The Seychelles
    the winner for the past three years in a row! This idyllic island puts travel first, obtaining visa-free entry to many locations around Europe and China. (World Rank: 26, Score Without a Visa: 156)
  2. The Island of Mauritius
    Trade and investment efforts strengthened the value of the Mauritius passport. Commonwealth nations are convenient for business and travel for their citizens, which appeals to both professionals and visitors. (World Rank: 30; Score Without a Visa: 150)
  3. Africa
    The economic giant of Africa stays in the top three. Travel deals to Asia, America, and Russia are beneficial due to South Africa’s expanding market status. (World Rank: 53, Score Without a Visa: 108)
  4. The Botswana
    The power of Botswana’s passports exceeds expectations. Obtaining visa-free entrance into any of the 20 member nations of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) facilitates travel for its nationals. (Global Rank: 59, Score Without a Visa: 91)
  5. Namibia
    Because of its trade agreement, Namibia’s nationals can visit numerous African nations without a visa, making travel more accessible for them. It can be accessed both domestically and internationally. (World Rank: 65, Score Without a Visa: 80)

Nigeria’s passport rank
Although the Nigerian passport has gained entry without a visa to 11 more locations since 2006, its standing worldwide has dropped 38 spots to 95th place. It is now ranked 34th in Africa. This indicates that the Nigerian passport has limited value.
