Ghana Approves Three Deals Paving Way for Visa‑Free Travel: Media
After being sealed by Parliament, the changes will cover the Maldives, Zambia, and Antigua and Barbuda, Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said as quoted by local media.
“We shall keep negotiating more Visa Waiver Agreements as we add greater value to the Ghanaian Passport, and at the same time enhance security protocols around acquiring Ghanaian passports,” he said.
The arrangements reportedly cover holders of ordinary, service, and diplomatic passports from all four countries and allow visa‑free stays of up to 30 days.
The government’s new “free visa policy” for African citizens does not mean unrestricted or automatic entry into the country, Ablakwa was quoted as saying.
“Free visa simply means if you are an African, you don't pay the cost for a visa, whereas our friends from other parts of the world will be paying about $250 when we roll out the e-visa regime," the minister added.
