Ghana and Zambia have officially announced a visa-free travel agreement that will allow citizens of both countries to move freely without requiring entry visas. The agreement is part of broader efforts to enhance regional integration, promote trade, tourism, and strengthen diplomatic relations between the two nations. Officials said the move will make travel easier for businesspeople, students, and tourists, fostering closer cultural and economic ties.
Authorities from both countries highlighted that the policy will reduce bureaucratic hurdles and costs associated with travel, encouraging more exchanges and cooperation in education, commerce, and tourism. The agreement is also seen as a boost to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) initiative, which seeks to facilitate seamless movement of people and goods across the continent.
Leaders from Ghana and Zambia emphasized that the visa-free arrangement reflects a commitment to pan-African unity and regional collaboration. Citizens are encouraged to take advantage of the new policy to explore educational, business, and cultural opportunities. Observers say this step could set a precedent for other African nations to adopt similar measures to strengthen cross-border mobility.
