Argentina passport ranking 2026
Four indices, four different numbers.
Sixteenth globally on the principal index, with 169 destinations reachable without a prior visa. If you have seen a different number, you have probably seen a different methodology — and this page lets you switch between them.
Move the rules, watch the number
Four numbers, one passport.
Published figures for the Argentine passport range from 160 to 174, and anyone comparing sources reasonably wonders which is right. The answer is that most of them are, on their own terms. Three counting decisions move the score, and almost no index states which it made. Switch between them here.
Principal 2026 ranking — 16th globally
Destinations, territories included, visa-free entry
- Territories counted as destinations
- Visa on arrival counted as visa-free
- Electronic authorisations counted as visa-free
None of these is wrong. They answer slightly different questions, and a passport does not change because an index changed its rules. What changes is the marketing.
In context

Destinations on the 2026 principal index. Chile is the only Latin American country in the US Visa Waiver Programme, and the only Southern Cone passport ahead of Argentina. Argentina held the status until 2002 and is working to rejoin.
