The agreement takes effect on November 1, 2023, and will allow travellers from both countries to transit through, depart from, and stay in the territory of the other country for a cumulative period of up to 90 days without a visa, as long as they are not working.

This is a significant development for both countries, as it will make it easier and more affordable for people to travel and do business between them.  It is also a sign of the growing friendship and cooperation between Ghana and South Africa.
