Ghana passport visa-free countries have now reached nearly 50, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
The announcement was made on the sidelines of the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa on February 12.
More Visa Waiver Agreements Expected
Mr. Ablakwa disclosed that the number of Ghana passport visa-free countries is expected to increase in the coming months as the government signs additional bilateral agreements.
He assured journalists that Ghanaians should expect positive announcements in March, April, and May.
The visa access arrangements include fully visa-free travel, visa-on-arrival, and e-visa entry options.
Countries Offering Access
Countries currently offering access to Ghanaian passport holders include Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, South Africa, and Qatar, among others.
Most of these destinations permit stays of up to 90 days.
The government believes the expansion will improve travel opportunities, promote trade and enhance Ghana’s global competitiveness.
