Ghana launches its first e-visa service, making visas free for all African passport holders traveling for business or tourism. Multiple outlets report that the initiative allows eligible travellers to apply through an electronic system and travel without paying a visa fee. The government positions the measure as a way to encourage travel and increase interest from tourists and investors, with the broader goal of supporting economic activity. One report says Ghana is the sixth African country to remove visa fees for African citizens, placing the change within a wider regional trend toward easier intra-African mobility. Some coverage also notes concerns about border control and the practical implementation of the new system, including how authorities will manage verification and entry procedures. While the announcements emphasize the accessibility of the free e-visa, the reports indicate that how consistently it is applied at points of entry remains an area of attention as the programme rolls out.
