The President of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo has announced the government’s intention to implement a policy enabling visa-free entry for all African citizens.
The government announced its commitment to ensuring visa-free for all Africans travelling into Ghana.
Countries across Africa are realizing the importance of dismantling barriers that have long hindered intra-continental interactions.
The initiative is set to be implemented in 2024 and aims to foster easier movement within the continent, President Akuffo Addo pledged. He also informed participants of special measures that reduced visa acquisition fees by 50%, paving the way for visa-on-arrival during this year.
Currently, only five African countries provide visa-free for all African citizens.
The President officially announced during the 2024 Africa Prosperity Dialogue in Ghana held on Thursday 24th January 2024 at Peduase Lodge.
Akufo-Addo stressed the importance of such policies continent-wide, promoting the free movement of people, goods, and services to reap the benefits of enhanced trade to achieve the goal of economic transformation in Africa.
