Ghana has ratified four new visa waiver agreements, allowing Ghanaians to travel to São Tomé and Príncipe, Colombia, the Commonwealth of Dominica, and Mozambique without visas. The agreements were unanimously ratified by Parliament, bringing the total number of visa waiver agreements finalized by the country to five in the first half of the year, including one with Morocco.

According to Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, more visa waiver agreements are being negotiated for ratification this year. The Minister expressed gratitude to Parliament for their support and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to making the Ghanaian passport one of the most valuable and respected travel documents globally.

The government is also investing in enhanced security protocols to prevent international criminal gangs from accessing Ghanaian passports, ensuring the document’s integrity and security.
