Ghana: Akufo-Addo opens borders, visa-free for all of Africa
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare via Whatsapp

The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has granted executive approval to allow visa-free entry for all African citizens, a measure that positions the country as the fifth in Africa to adopt this policy. The announcement, made on December 18, 2024, reinforces Ghana’s commitment to regional economic integration and the free movement of people, goods, and services across the continent—key principles of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

This initiative fulfills a promise made by Akufo-Addo during the Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD 2024), held in January under the theme “Advancing Prosperity in Africa: Produce, Add Value, and Trade.” According to the president, “the government of Ghana is committed to ensuring visa-free travel for all Africans.” The policy will take effect before the end of his term on January 7, 2025, with the aim of solidifying Ghana’s position as a leader in promoting regional integration.

Prior to this decision, Ghana allowed visa-free access to citizens of 26 African countries and offered visas on arrival for another 25. The new policy will place Ghana alongside Rwanda, Seychelles, Gambia, and Benin as the only African countries offering unrestricted visa-free entry to all African passport holders. However, the African Development Bank (AfDB) notes that many African countries still maintain restrictive visa policies, limiting opportunities for trade and cooperation across the continent.

In addition to strengthening regional integration, this policy aligns with the “Beyond the Return” program, a 10-year initiative aimed at boosting tourism and strengthening economic ties with the African diaspora. From December 1, 2024, to January 15, 2025, Ghana implemented a temporary policy allowing visa-free entry to all visitors as part of this effort to foster cultural and economic exchange.

Ghana’s move highlights the transformative potential of easing visa requirements across Africa. While significant challenges persist, such as restrictive policies in countries like Libya and Equatorial Guinea, initiatives like this represent an important step toward realizing the African Union’s vision of a more integrated and prosperous continent.
