History and overview
Global Passport Index was launched in 2021 by Patricia Casaburi's citizenship planning consultancy firm, Global Citizen Solutions. It is an online platform to provide a global passport ranking for people looking to understand the value of their own passport by looking at how travel-friendly, investor-friendly, and relocation-friendly your passport is..[2] It is a free platform designed as a quantitative tool offering individuals a comprehensive overview of mobility and country attractiveness across three standalone indexes: Enhanced Mobility Index, Investment Index, and Quality of Living Index.[3] Each index enables users to filter results for individual country rankings.[1]
Global Citizen Solutions developed its own version of the Global Passport Index, devising a new methodology to measure the overall attractiveness of each country for relocation, investment, or dual citizenship purposes.[4][5]
