Ghanaian nationals, along with citizens of Antigua and Barbuda, the Maldives, and Zambia, can now travel to these countries without requiring visas.
This is the result of an agreement between the three countries, as announced by Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, on X on Wednesday morning.
The Ghanaian Foreign Minister said the cabinet approved the visa waiver agreements on Tuesday, and the parliament will ratify the cabinet approvals shortly.
“Cabinet yesterday approved additional Visa Waiver Agreements for Antigua and Barbuda, the Maldives and Zambia. The agreements cover holders of all categories of passports from ordinary, service to diplomatic,” he said.
“Ghanaians and citizens of the three countries can embark on a maximum of 30-day visits per trip without requiring visas. Parliament is expected to ratify the cabinet approvals shortly. We shall keep negotiating more Visa Waiver Agreements as we add greater value to the Ghanaian Passport, and at the same time enhance security protocols around acquiring Ghanaian Passports.”
The West African country has been embarking on steps toward visa-free travel, both for people entering the country and for Ghanaians travelling abroad.
It recently announced that, starting May 25, 2026, it will allow visa-free entry (via a free e-visa) for all African passport holders.
Travellers will still apply online, but won’t pay visa fees. The policy is part of efforts to boost African integration and trade. Ghana joins countries like Rwanda and Seychelles in opening borders across Africa.
