To strengthen bilateral relations and enhance existing cooperation, the governments of Ghana and Malawi have signed a visa waiver agreement. The agreement, which took effect on February 7, 2024, allows citizens of both countries holding ordinary, diplomatic, and service passports to travel visa-free between the two nations.
Under this agreement, travellers from Ghana and Malawi are permitted to transit through, depart from, and stay in the territory of either country for a cumulative period of up to 90 days within a calendar year. This arrangement aims to facilitate seamless travel and foster closer ties between the two nations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration issued a statement announcing the visa waiver agreement and encouraged the travelling public to take note of the new arrangement. With this development, citizens of Ghana and Malawi can now enjoy hassle-free travel between the two countries, further promoting people-to-people exchanges and economic cooperation.
