Ghana has unveiled a new digital e-Visa platform aimed at simplifying entry procedures, improving border management, and strengthening economic ties across Africa.
The initiative, announced during the country’s commemoration of African Union Day, enables travelers to apply for visas online, upload supporting documents digitally, and receive approvals electronically. The move is expected to streamline the visa application process while reducing administrative bottlenecks for visitors.
A key highlight of the new system is Ghana’s decision to waive visa processing fees for African passport holders traveling for tourism or business purposes through the platform. The measure reflects the country’s commitment to promoting intra-African mobility and supporting the broader goals of continental integration.
By digitizing visa services, Ghana joins a growing number of African nations leveraging technology to improve government services, facilitate cross-border movement, and create a more business-friendly environment for investors, entrepreneurs, and tourists.
The development is expected to boost tourism, encourage trade and investment flows, and further position Ghana as a strategic hub for regional and international commerce.
