The Enhanced Mobility Index carries the most weight (50%) and is based on the travel benefits that each passport gives the holder, while also taking into account the level of “attractiveness” of the destination country based on its quality of life.
Finland\'s passport ranks 6th on the Global Passport Ranking Index. Due to its mobility strength, it is equal to the top five countries by allowing Finnish citizens to access 197 countries through a visa on arrival, visa-free access, or through applying for an electronic visa. These countries include the European Union, Canada, the United States, Australia, and India. However, Finnish passport holders need a visa to enter Russia, China, and most North African countries. A unique aspect of the Finnish passport is that when the pages are flipped quickly, they animate a moose walking across the page.

Quality of Life Index
The third index covers six main components relating to the quality of life in the country. Other areas were considered, such as healthcare, education, and personal safety. However, it was felt that these were already covered in the selected indicators (such as in the Sustainable Development Goals) or that there were limited reliable sources for the information. The Quality of Living Index is worth 25% of the overall calculation.
