Ghanaians Can Now Travel to 54 Countries Without Visa – Okudzeto Ablakwa
Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that Ghanaian passport holders can now travel to 54 countries and territories without a visa.
The minister disclosed this in a public statement, describing the development as a major boost to the global mobility of Ghanaian citizens and a reflection of strengthened diplomatic relations between Ghana and its international partners.
According to Okudzeto Ablakwa, the expanded visa-free access is the result of sustained diplomatic engagements, bilateral agreements, and regional cooperation aimed at easing travel restrictions for Ghanaians across Africa and beyond.
He noted that the move will create increased opportunities for business, tourism, education, and cultural exchange, while also reducing the financial and administrative burden associated with visa applications.
Although a detailed list of the 54 visa-free destinations was not immediately provided, the Foreign Affairs Ministry indicated that the countries span Africa, the Caribbean, and other regions with reciprocal travel arrangements.
The announcement has been welcomed by many Ghanaians, particularly frequent travellers and members of the business community, who see the development as a positive step toward improving the strength and international standing of the Ghanaian passport.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is expected to release further details on the specific countries involved and any entry conditions that may apply.
