Counts are for a standard tourist passport, from our open visa-matrix dataset, which cross-checks Wikipedia against a second source and records every disagreement rather than picking one silently. This is a starting point, not legal advice — a rule can change between snapshots, so confirm the current requirement with the destination's official source before you book. Rows marked ⚑ disputed are corridors where our two sources disagree; treat those as "verify first".
