The official unveiling occurred on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at the public hall of Ouagadougou International Airport. The launch event was attended by the Minister of Digital Transition along with key stakeholders from the air transport sector.
This cutting-edge platform aims to:
- Simplify the travel declaration procedure for passengers entering Burkina Faso.
- Accelerate the overall process at border checkpoints.
By digitizing the travel declaration, Burkina Faso intends to enhance both the efficiency of border operations and security measures. The move to a digital system underscores the government’s commitment to adopting technology to streamline administrative tasks, benefiting travelers and authorities alike.
The platform is also expected to contribute positively to the growth of travel and tourism by offering international visitors a smoother and faster experience. Authorities hope that this innovation will serve as a model for other countries in the region to adopt similar technologies.
