According to the index, Taiwan passport holders enjoy such access in 134 countries and territories worldwide. The latest tallies compiled by Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which also take e-visas into account, indicate that Taiwan passport holders enjoy preferential visa treatment in 166 countries and territories.
Germany topped the Hanley and Partners index for the fourth consecutive year, with passport holders from the country permitted to visit 177 destinations without applying for a visa in advance.
