The Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index is a global ranking of visa-free countries by the freedom of travel enjoyed by their citizens. Henley & Partners has analyzed the visa requirements of every country and territory in the world and created an index that ranks countries according to their citizens’ visa-free access to other countries. Examples of Tanzania are: Albania, Cook Islands, Djibouti, Dominica, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Fiji, Grenada, Gambia, Georgia, Haiti, Nepal, Namibia, St. Lucia, Singapore, Seychelles, Swaziland, Tuvalu, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Timor -Leste, Uganda, Vanuatu, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
However, it should be noted that some countries within this list only allow you to stay in their country visa-free for up to 90 days before a visa is purchased or you are sent home. It is important to find out before you travel whether you need a visa to enter your destination or transit country.
