The government of Ghana has approved new visa waiver agreements with Antigua and Barbuda, the Maldives, and Zambia. This initiative aims to expand travel opportunities and strengthen diplomatic relations. Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced this in a Facebook post on Wednesday, April 22.
Cabinet has granted approval for these agreements, which are expected to facilitate travel between Ghana and the three countries. The arrangements will apply to holders of all types of passports, including ordinary, service, and diplomatic passports.
Under the new agreements, Ghanaians and citizens of the three countries will be able to undertake short visits of up to 30 days per trip without needing a visa. Minister Ablakwa also noted that the agreements will be presented to Parliament for ratification in the near future. He further mentioned that the government will continue to pursue additional visa waiver arrangements while enhancing security measures surrounding the issuance of Ghanaian passports.
