← Long Term Stability

Geopolitical Risk

Score 0–100 (higher = lower risk) capturing: active armed conflicts on or near territory, international sanctions imposed, unresolved territorial disputes, alliance entanglements, and neighbourhood instability factors. A low geopolitical risk environment means your visa status is unlikely to change due to diplomatic ruptures, your country of origin passport is unlikely to suddenly become problematic, and military adventures are not likely. Iceland, Switzerland and New Zealand score highest as genuinely neutral countries with no active disputes. Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, Gaza and North Korea score at the bottom.
