How the Visa, Entry and Travel Freedom Score Is Calculated

The overall score is a weighted average across five indicators. Nomadino calculates: visa-free tourist stay × 0.24 + visa application ease × 0.24 + border openness × 0.20 + travel and entry comfort × 0.18 + visa income and asset requirements × 0.14.

Visa-free tourist stay: 24%
Visa application ease: 24%
Border openness: 20%
Travel and entry comfort: 18%
Visa income and asset requirements: 14%

This board now measures only short- and medium-term entry and travel usability. Visa-free stay and simple visa applications receive the highest weights because they directly determine practical usability for travelers, future migrants and location-independent workers.

Border openness and travel and entry comfort capture practical friction at the border. Visa income and asset requirements receive a lower weight but remain important because high minimum requirements can strongly limit longer stays. Passport power, dual citizenship and citizenship by investment now sit in the Permanent Residency and Family board.
