Enhanced Mobility Index
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.
Score
The number of points attributed to the country is the sum of the weight of Visa Requirements required to enter a country or territory multiplied by the weight of the country’s “attractiveness” (this is based on four tiers to assess the quality of life - 1, ¾, ½ or ⅓ depending on the country).

Investment Index
The Investment Index is used to provide a general assessment of the economy as an option for investment and other business decisions. Prosperous nations with a dynamic economy are favored, while the level of personal taxation is also taken into account. It is worth 25% of the overall calculation.
Score
The sum is calculated using three indicators - Global Competitiveness, also known as Market Innovation (weighted at 50%), GNI per Capita (weighted at 25%), and Personal / Individual Tax rates (weighted at 25%). Global Competitiveness is weighted higher as it comprises a number of relevant factors.

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.
Score
The indicators were weighted as follows: Sustainable Development: 30% Cost of Living: 20% Freedom in the World: 20% Happiness Score: 10% Environmental Performance:10% Migrant Acceptance: 10%.
The rationale for these weights is that Sustainable Development combines several aspects relevant to the quality of living. The Cost of Living and level of freedom are considered important aspects of the Global Index Methodology. The final three indicators are given less weight as they are not central to the index, but are still relevant as they carry information not found elsewhere.
