Mbabane: The 2021 Nomad Capitalist Index (NPI) has ranked Eswatini’s passports in number 129 out of 199 world’s best passports for entrepreneurs in 2021.
The NPI which is provided by an offshore consulting firm, Nomad Capitalist ranks the 199 citizenships in five factors including visa free travel, international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom.
The NPI travel score has been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.
Eswatini is well down the list at 129 scoring poorly on taxation, freedom and perception.
Luxembourg secures first place in the rankings maintaining its place at the top of the list for the fourth year in a row. Tied second are Ireland and Sweden, followed by Switzerland, Belgium, Finland, Portugal, Singapore, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.
The Nomad Passport Index was designed to educated aspiring global citizens about the true value of the world’s citizenships.
While most indexes – and most people – think of a passport only in terms of travel privileges, we realized that citizens of different countries deal with far different requirements to pay tax, live freely, comply with regulations, and avoid scrutiny when traveling.
In that regard, the number of countries a passport holder may visit does not tell the whole story.
The Nomad Passport Index speaks to those seeking personal freedom and financial prosperity in a changing world by more deeply analysing the true value of each passport.
