In commemoration of the African Union Day, yesterday, Monday, May 25, President John Dramani Mahama officially launched Ghana’s electronic visa (e-Visa) portal, a key reform aimed at streamlining visa applications, improving travel facilitation, and modernising the country’s immigration system through digital technology.

According to the presidency, the platform is designed to make the visa application process more efficient and accessible while ensuring that all applicants continue to undergo strict security checks and due diligence in line with national security requirements.

At the same event, President Mahama also revealed that holders of African passports travelling to Ghana for tourism or business would be exempt from visa fees, reinforcing Ghana’s commitment to continental integration and openness.
