In a groundbreaking move that will send African globetrotters jiving with joy, Ghana has just rolled out the red carpet to all African passport holders-no visa required! Outgoing President Nana Akufo Addo made this dazzling policy announcement during his final state of the nation address, making it the ultimate mic drop moment of his presidency.
President Akufo Addo, perhaps envisioning his retirement sipping on pineapple juice at a Cape Coast beach, declared: Visa-free travel for all Africans is live, folks. Ghana is open, and so is the party! Critics say it’s the best thing since jollof rice-no shade to our Nigerian cousins.
This is not just sunshine and kente cloth; it’s a nod to Pan-African unity and the African Continental Free Trade Area. We are not just sharing trade; we are sharing vibes, the president added, probably imagining a continent-wide family reunion on Ghanaian soil.
Ghana: Now in Africa’s Elite Visa-Free Club Ghana has joined the elite club of African countries offering visa-free travel to all, making it last year’s coolest kid on the block with the fifth position in the Visa Openness Index. This feels like an all-access pass to one of the most hospitable nations in Africa has just been handed out. Other members of this club, take note!
Remember the Year of Return in 2019, when Ghana welcomed African diasporans with full force and turned the whole event into a blockbuster? Well, consider this visa-free announcement its sequel no one knew it needed. Tourism officials are already readying for a deluge of selfie sticks and dancing challenges around Political Arena.
