Akufo-Addo approves visa-free entry to Ghana for all African nationals
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has approved visa-free entry to Ghana for all African nationals.
He granted an executive approval on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.
Ghana will join Rwanda, Seychelles, The Gambia, and Benin as the only African countries offering visa-free entry to all African passport holders.
This is in fulfilment of his promise to introduce visa-free travel for citizens of all African nations to Ghana during the Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD 2024) in January 2024.
This is to improve the free movement of people, goods, and services across the continent, a move that would drive the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) by ensuring economic integration.
The policy is set to take effect before the end of Akufo-Addo’s term on January 6, 2025.
