A passport's reach counts the destinations it can enter without arranging a visa before travel — visa-free entry, visa on arrival, or an electronic travel authorisation — across the destinations in our dataset for that passport. Published indices count their own datasets, so their totals can differ from ours by a few destinations. Both passports here are measured by the same rule against the same data, which is what makes the comparison fair.
