Starting in early 2025, Ghana will grant visa-free entry to all African citizens, following a December announcement by President Nana Akufo-Addo. This move fulfills a pledge made at the Africa Prosperity Dialogues, with the president emphasizing the goal of fostering “stronger ties across Africa.” The policy is expected to boost tourism, trade, and travel to Ghana, addressing concerns that visa restrictions have hindered growth in these sectors. Previously, Ghana allowed visa-free access to nationals from 26 African countries and provided visas on arrival for citizens of 25 others, with only two countries requiring a visa in advance. With this decision, Ghana becomes the fifth African nation to adopt an open-door policy for all African passport holders, joining Rwanda, Seychelles, Gambia, and Benin.
