Ghana is set to launch a visa-free policy for all African nationals, effective May 25, 2026, Africa Day.
President John Dramani Mahama announced this during Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s state visit, highlighting Ghana’s commitment to Pan-Africanism and boosting tourism and trade.
The visa-free entry will be part of an e-visa system launching next month.
“I’m also pleased to announce that effective 25th May 2026, when we commemorate Africa Day, Ghana will commence a free visa regime for all Africans.
Africans traveling to Ghana will receive their e-visas online free of charge.
“But between Ghana and Zimbabwe, we have a visa-free environment already. You can travel to each other’s countries without needing a visa. You just hop onto the plane and arrive in each other’s country,” he said.
President Mahama also mentioned efforts to secure more visa waivers for Ghanaian passport holders. Ghana and Zimbabwe signed 10 MoUs to strengthen ties
