Accra, October 22 (Xinhua) — Ghana will introduce e-visas by 2026 to simplify the visa process and facilitate trade, diplomacy, and investment. Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced the move Tuesday while speaking at the MOBEX Africa 2025 technology exhibition and innovation conference.

The e-visa system is part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' efforts to modernize Ghana's diplomatic services for the digital age, the minister noted. He added that the introduction of e-visas will make it easier for investors, tech specialists, and entrepreneurs to enter and work in the country.

The theme of this year's conference is "Rebooting Africa's Digital Identity and Sovereignty." Commenting on the topic, S.O. Ablakwa noted that the continent needs to embrace technological opportunities and digitalization as a tool for transformation.

The success of initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area will depend on strong digital connectivity, he stressed.
