A scene during the signing ceremony
The Government of Ghana has introduced a free visa regime for all Africans who wish to visit Ghana, effective May 25, which is commemorated as Africa Day.
President Mahama made the declaration during the inaugural State Visit of President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe to Ghana.
Ghana aims to reinforce its credentials as the cradle of Pan-Africanism, anticipating a significant boost in tourism and intra-African trade through this groundbreaking reform.
The Free Visa for Africans will be a component of a new e-Visa policy the Mahama Administration is launching next month.
President Mahama also assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue its efforts to secure more Visa Waiver Agreements for Ghanaian passport holders, having negotiated 23 agreements since last year.
