Ghana has announced visa-free travel for citizens of all African nations, fulfilling President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s pledge to promote continental integration.

The policy, approved on 18 December 2024, will take effect before the end of Akufo-Addo’s term on 6 January 2025. It aligns with the African Union’s vision of economic integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Ghana joins Rwanda, Seychelles, The Gambia, and Benin in offering visa-free entry to all African passport holders.

President Akufo-Addo had reaffirmed this commitment during the Africa Prosperity Dialogues in January, noting the challenges restrictive immigration policies pose to African entrepreneurs. Business mogul Aliko Dangote, for example, highlighted frustrations over navigating visa requirements, saying, “I have to apply for 35 different visas.”

Preparations are underway, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ghana Immigration Service coordinating efforts. The policy is expected to commence on 1 January 2025, solidifying Ghana’s role as a leader in African unity and integration.
