Factors that determine a country's score; How many countries you can visit without a visa, how much it costs to get a passport, how long the passport is valid and what percentage of the average monthly salary (% / GML) the passport costs.

Danes' passport costs NOK 1,400, making it the most expensive passport on the list. Not surprisingly, Scandinavian passports offer almost the same benefits when it comes to countries where you can travel without a visa.
First place is United Arab Emirates. The passport is cheap (NOK 130), lasts ten years, allows visa-free entry to 184 countries and costs a very small fraction of the country's average monthly salary.
