Ghanaian travelers will not need visas to some countries after Parliament ratified four visa waiver agreements.
The countries include São Tomé and Príncipe, Colombia, the Commonwealth of Dominica and Mozambique.
Announcing this in a post shared via social media, Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said others are in the offing.
Adding that the current regime intends to make Ghana’s passport a respectable and valuable one.
His post on social media said, “I am grateful to Parliament for unanimously ratifying 4 Visa Waiver Agreements which I presented to the House earlier this week.
“Visas are no longer required by Ghanaians to travel to São Tomé and Príncipe, Colombia, the Commonwealth of Dominica and Mozambique.
“In addition to Morocco, 5 Visa Waiver Agreements have been finalized in the first half of this year.
“More Visa Waiver Agreements are being negotiated for ratification this year.”
He added, “The Mahama administration is determined to make the Ghanaian passport one of the most valuable and respected travel documents in the world.
“We are also investing in rigorous enhanced security protocols to ensure international criminal gangs do not have access to our passports.
“We shall keep working in your best interest.
“For God and Country.”
