Ghana passport ranks higher than Nigeria in 2026 Passport Index

The 2026 Passport Index places Ghana's passport at 65th globally with a mobility score of 73, granting visa‑free or visa‑on‑arrival access to 42 countries. Nigeria's passport is ranked 84th with a score of 52 and visa‑free access to 24 countries. The gap highlights greater travel freedom for Ghanaian citizens, who can reach 37% of world destinations compared with 26% for Nigerians. Both nations benefit from regional mobility under ECOWAS, but Ghana’s broader visa‑waiver agreements improve its international mobility more significantly than Nigeria’s.
