The minister for foreign affairs and regional integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has confirmed that Cabinet has approved visa waiver agreements with Antigua and Barbuda, the Maldives, and Zambia as part of efforts to strengthen diplomatic relations.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Ablakwa announced that Cabinet approved the agreements, and they will make travel between Ghana and the three countries easier.
“The new arrangement will cover all categories of passports, that is, ordinary, service and diplomatic. Under the agreement, Ghanaians and citizens of the three countries can travel for short visits of up to 30 days per trip without needing a visa.”
Mr. Ablakwa further stated that the government will, in due course, present the agreements to Parliament for ratification, while pursuing more visa waiver deals and tightening security in the issuance of Ghanaian passports.
