Ghana opens its borders to African passport holders
On December 18th, 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of Ghana granted executive approval for a landmark visa-free travel policy, allowing holders of African passports to enter the country without a visa. This bold move makes Ghana the fifth African country to open its borders to all African passport holders, signaling a significant step toward fostering regional integration and cooperation. This initiative aligns closely with the African Union’s Agenda 2063, a strategic framework that envisions a united and prosperous Africa. A key element of Agenda 2063 is the establishment of a Continental Free Trade Area, which would be supported by the free movement of people, goods, and services across the continent.
