Ghana has abolished the visa requirement for holders of passports of other African nations effective January 2025.
With this, it means Ghana is the latest country to join 42 African countries that eliminated visa requirements for all African citizens.
The outgoing President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, granted executive approval for visa-free travel to Ghana by citizens last Wednesday.
With this, Ghana joins 42 other African countries that extend visa-free entry to citizens from at least five other African countries.
Some of the African nations that are visa-free are Rwanda, Benin, The Gambia, Seychelles, South Africa and Uganda.
This is in fulfillment of a promise President Akufo-Addo made last year January to international participants, mainly business executives, at the Africa Prosperity Dialogues 2024.
This means that delegates from African nations who will be attending next year’s Africa Oil Week scheduled between September 15-19, 2025, will not require a visa to enter Ghana
