October 20, 2023In an exciting development for travelers, the governments of the Republic of South Africa and the Republic of Ghana have reached a mutual agreement to implement a visa exemption for ordinary passport holders. This landmark decision will allow travelers to enjoy a cumulative period of ninety (90) days per annum without the need for a visa, effective from 01 November 2023. Here’s everything you need to know about this significant change in travel regulations:
The Visa Exemption Agreement
Both the South African and Ghanaian governments have collaboratively decided to waive visa requirements for ordinary passport holders. This means that travelers from Ghana who hold ordinary passports will be able to enter South Africa for tourism, business, and other purposes without having to go through the visa application process.
Key Details of the Agreement
Ninety Days of Visa-Free Travel: The agreement grants travelers a cumulative period of ninety (90) days per annum, which means you can stay in South Africa without a visa for up to three months in a given year. This extended duration provides ample opportunities for exploring the diverse landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant cities of South Africa.
Effective from November 1, 2023: The visa exemption comes into effect on November 1, 2023. This allows travelers from Ghana and South Africa to start benefiting from this exciting change in travel regulations.
Visa Application if the 90 Days are Exhausted: If you find yourself in South Africa and have already utilized your ninety days within a twelve-month period, you will be required to apply for a visa to continue your stay. This ensures that the visa exemption is used responsibly and does not result in prolonged, unauthorized stays.
