Cabinet Approves Visa-Free Travel for Citizens of Zambia, Maldives, Antigua and Barbuda
Cabinet has approved a visa waiver agreement for citizens of Zambia, the Maldives, and Antigua and Barbuda, Minister for Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced Wednesday.
The approval, granted on April 21, 2026, covers holders of all categories of passports, including ordinary, service, and diplomatic.
Under the agreement, Ghanaians and citizens of the three countries can travel for visits of up to 30 days per trip without requiring a visa.
Mr Ablakwa said Parliament will soon ratify the Cabinet approvals to pave the way for implementation.
“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 Minister stated.
The move is expected to boost tourism, trade, and people-to-people ties between Ghana and the three countries once ratified.
