Visa on arrival (VOA)
Permission from a foreign authority to enter a country is required but can be obtained on arrival.
Visa required (VR)
Permission from a foreign authority to enter a country is required prior to travel.
Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)
Requirement for foreign nationals travelling to a country where permission to enter is not required. It is a relatively new approach, widely used by the USA and Canada.
Passport Power Rank (PPR)
Passports are ranked based on their Mobility Score. The higher the Mobility Score, the better the Passport Power Rank.

World Openness Score (WOS)
A measure of the global ease of travel by taking into account all visa waivers in the world. The higher the number, the more open the world is becoming.
