How accurate is this list?
Entries marked with a ✓ badge have been re-verified against an official government source (embassy, ministry, or visa portal) and link to that source. Entries without the badge come from the community-maintained open-source Passport Index Dataset — a reasonable starting point but not individually verified. Rules change frequently. Always confirm with the destination embassy before booking travel.
