What This Means for Greek Citizens Abroad and Those Seeking Greek Citizenship
According to the Nomad Passport Index 2025, Greece ranks 2nd globally among the strongest passports in the world, sharing the spot with Switzerland. This distinction highlights the power of the Greek passport and the benefits it offers to both domestic citizens and members of the Greek diaspora.
The index is published by Nomad Capitalist, an international platform for global mobility and citizenship planning. Ireland ranks 1st in this year’s index, while Greece outperforms countries such as Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the UK.
What Is the Nomad Passport Index?
The index evaluates a country’s passport not just by visa-free access, but through a multi-criteria model that reflects the real value of citizenship in today’s global world.
Here are the five pillars of the index:
-
✈️ Visa-free travel access – 50%
-
Taxation of citizens abroad – 20%
-
International reputation – 10%
-
Freedom to hold dual citizenship – 10%
-
Personal and financial freedom – 10%
Greece performs exceptionally well in all categories, especially in mobility, heritage rights, and access to the EU — making it one of the most valuable passports for diaspora Greeks.
Why This Matters for Greeks Abroad
The Greek passport isn’t just a travel document — it’s a gateway to opportunity. For Greek Americans and others in the diaspora, holding Greek citizenship offers:
-
✅ Visa-free travel to over 174 countries, including all of the EU
