Ghana is the latest country to be
granted a visa-free status by the South African government.
South Africa’s Department of Home
Affairs has added Ghana to a list of seven countries whose nationals will be
permitted to enter South Africa visa-free. Nigeria was not included despite the
large volume of trade between the two countries.
South Africa announced in
September 2018, that it was finalising a number of visa waiver agreements with
other countries including Ghana to allow travellers to enter the country
without a visa.
According to the Minister of Home
Affairs, Aaron Motsoaledi, citizens of the seven countries are able to enter
South Africa without a visa.
“Tourism will soar if we relax
visa requirements for entry into South Africa. We know that Tourism is very
important for job creation,” he said today at a briefing in South Africa.
“Out of the 193 countries who are
member states of the United Nations, the Department has granted visa-free
status to 75 countries. Of these 16 are in our continent and are SADC members
and 59 are from all over the world.”
