How many visa-free countries with a Turkish passport?

111 destinations out of 198 open without a prior application (71 visa-free, 6 with an electronic authorisation, 34 with a visa on arrival). Counting e-visas too, which remain an online application, the total is 140. Data dated 2026-02-17.

Why do websites give different numbers for the Turkish passport?

Because they count different things. Strictly visa-free gives 71 countries; adding electronic authorisations and visas on arrival (the Henley Passport Index count) gives 111; adding e-visas gives 140. An outdated source adds another gap.

What is the rank of the Turkish passport?

Why you read different numbers elsewhere

For the same Turkish passport, websites give totals that don't match. They are not necessarily wrong: they count different things, without saying so. Here are the three definitions, applied to the same data.

Strictly visa-free: 71; You show your passport, nothing else.
No prior application: 111; + electronic authorisation and visa on arrival. The Henley Passport Index count, and ours.
Counting e-visas: 140; + e-visa. More flattering, but still an application.
