The Ghanaian government has announced the introduction of a free e-visa for all African nationals, effective from May 25, 2026. The initiative aims to facilitate mobility across the continent and strengthen African integration.

According to Ghanaian authorities, the system will allow African citizens to obtain a visa online at no cost before traveling, eliminating fees and simplifying administrative procedures. Travelers will still need to complete the process through the official government platform prior to departure.

This measure is part of Ghana’s efforts to support trade, tourism, and cooperation among African countries. It also aligns with broader continental integration policies promoted by the African Union, including initiatives to ensure the free movement of people.

Officials emphasize that the e-visa system will be available to all Africans without distinction and aims to encourage economic and cultural exchanges across the continent. Authorities advise travelers to verify official information before planning their trip to ensure a smooth process.
