Ablakwa Announces Visa Waiver Agreement With Antigua and Barbuda

Ghana and the archipelagic country Antigua and Barbuda have reached a visa waiver agreement, the former’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced.

The agreement was reached and signed on September 25, 2025, on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly.

“A while ago, we signed our latest Visa Waiver Agreement between Ghana and Antigua and Barbuda in the margins of the UN General Assembly.

“Grateful to my counterpart — H.E. E.P. Chet Greene, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Barbuda Affairs, for his remarkable contribution to this milestone.”

According to the Nort Tongu Constituency Parliamentary representative, this is the 10th Visa Waiver Agreement secured since assuming office as Foreign Minister.

He emphasised that this aligns with the Mahama Administration’s deliberate quest to add more value to the Ghanaian Passport and project the country’s image in the comity of nations.

The government, he added, is also keen to enhance the travel experience of Ghanaians to boost trade, tourism, and connect with brothers and sisters in the Caribbean.
