Why other lists give different numbers
We count 73 visa-free countries and, separately, 24 that give a visa on arrival, each confirmed by the destination's own government. A visa on arrival is still a visa, so we never add it to the visa-free count. Lists with a higher number may also count visas on arrival and online travel authorisations as visa-free, include territories that are not countries, or keep rules that have since changed.
