Within the report’s North America grouping, St Vincent and the Grenadines ranks 7th among 23 passports. It ranks 4th among 14 CARICOM countries, 10th among 33 CELAC countries, 14th among 56 Commonwealth countries and 14th among 132 G77 countries.

The report also places the passport 14th among 60 countries grouped by English as an official language, 11th among 25 parliamentary constitutional monarchies and 2nd among six countries using the Eastern Caribbean dollar.
The clearest regional result is in the Caribbean, where the report lists all 15 destinations as visa-free for Vincentian passport holders, a 100% visa-free rate. None of the 15 Caribbean destinations is placed in the visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry, electronic-authorisation or visa-required categories. The regional list includes Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.
Visa-free coverage is also high in South America and Europe. In South America, 11 of 12 destinations are visa-free, equal to 91.7%, with one destination requiring a visa. In Europe, 43 of 47 destinations are visa-free, equal to 91.5%; one destination falls under visa on arrival or another simplified arrangement, one under electronic authorisation and two require visas. Within the report’s North America category, 18 of 22 destinations are visa-free, equal to 81.8%, while four require visas.
Africa shows a more mixed distribution. Of 54 destinations, 13 are visa-free, 20 are available through visa on arrival or other simplified entry arrangements, three use electronic travel authorisation or comparable pre-travel approval, and 18 require visas. That corresponds to 24.1% visa-free access, 37.0% simplified-entry access, 5.6% electronic-authorisation access and 33.3% requiring a visa.
In Asia, 10 of 50 destinations are visa-free and 12 fall within the visa-on-arrival or simplified-entry category. Three use electronic authorisation or comparable clearance, while 25 require visas, giving a visa-required share of 50.0%. Oceania records four visa-free destinations and seven available through visa on arrival or other simplified procedures out of 14 destinations, with three requiring visas. The report lists no electronic-authorisation destinations in Oceania.
Access is more limited in the report’s Gulf Countries and Middle East groupings. Among six Gulf countries, the United Arab Emirates is the sole visa-free destination, while five require visas. Across 17 Middle East destinations, three are visa-free, three are available through visa on arrival or another simplified arrangement, one uses electronic authorisation and 10 require visas. In Central Asia, two of five destinations are visa-free and three require visas.
The destination lists also show substantial variation in permitted stays and entry formalities. Georgia is listed with 360 days of visa-free stay, while Barbados, Guyana, Peru and Suriname are each shown with 180-day visa-free stays. Many European destinations are listed with 90-day visa-free stays, and the United Arab Emirates is also shown at 90 days. Malaysia and Singapore are listed as visa-free for 30 days with an arrival-card requirement, while the Dominican Republic is listed with an electronic ticket and a 30-day stay.
Some destinations classified under simplified or electronic processes use named systems rather than a conventional visa-on-arrival label. Cabo Verde is listed with the EASE process, Papua New Guinea with eVisitor for 30 days, Côte d’Ivoire with pre-registration for 90 days, and Seychelles with tourist registration for 90 days. The report also marks a number of visa-on-arrival destinations as having an eVisa option available, including Türkiye for 90 days and Nepal for 150 days.
The report’s Welcoming Countries ranking measures the opposite direction of travel, namely how easily foreign passport holders can enter St Vincent and the Grenadines. On that separate inbound measure, the country ranks 33rd among 199 destinations. The report’s section on visa requirements for entering St Vincent and the Grenadines should therefore be read separately from the outbound passport ranking, which measures where Vincentian passport holders can travel.
The reciprocity signals identify 46 countries whose passport holders can enter St Vincent and the Grenadines visa-free, with electronic permission or on arrival, while Vincentian passport holders require a visa for those countries. The list includes the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and several other destinations across Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. In the other direction, five countries are listed as requiring visas from their passport holders for entry to St Vincent and the Grenadines while allowing Vincentian passport holders visa-free, electronic-authorisation or on-arrival access: the Dominican Republic, Palestine, Haiti, Nigeria and Jordan.
Taken together, the report places St Vincent and the Grenadines in 48th position globally with a mobility score of 145 and a 73.2% global access rate. Its broadest direct visa-free coverage is concentrated in the Caribbean, South America and Europe, while access in Africa and Oceania relies more heavily on visa-on-arrival or other simplified procedures and Asia contains the largest number of visa-required destinations in the regional breakdown. The separate inbound ranking of 33rd among 199 countries provides an additional view of entry openness, while the reciprocity data shows that outbound and inbound visa treatment does not always match country by country.
