Ghana is set to become a visa-free destination for all African nationals beginning in early 2025.
President Nana Akufo-Addo approved the policy change in
December, fulfilling a promise he made during the Africa Prosperity Dialogues.
The initiative, according to the president, aims to foster
“stronger ties across Africa.”
The move is expected to boost tourism, trade, and travel in
the West African nation, addressing concerns that visa restrictions have long
hindered these sectors.
Ghana previously granted visa-free entry to citizens of 26
African nations and visas on arrival to travelers from 25 others, with only two
African countries requiring visas prior to arrival.
With this decision, Ghana joins Rwanda, Seychelles, Gambia,
and Benin as the fifth African nation to extend visa-free access to all holders
of African passports, marking a step toward enhancing regional integration and
mobility across the continent.
