Burkina Faso has implemented a new policy that waives entry visa fees for all African nationals. This initiative is designed to promote tourism and enhance regional cooperation by making travel to Burkina Faso more accessible and cost-effective for African citizens.
Although visa fees are waived, travelers must still complete the visa application process online. This approach aligns with Burkina Faso’s broader goals of fostering regional integration and stimulating economic growth through increased travel and business activities.
The capital city, Ouagadougou, is hopeful that this change will attract a higher number of visitors from across Africa, supporting cultural exchange and economic development. Authorities believe that by removing the financial barrier of visa fees, Burkina Faso will become a preferred destination for:
- Tourism
- Commerce
- Education
This policy highlights Burkina Faso’s commitment to being a welcome destination for Africans and sets a precedent for other countries contemplating similar initiatives. It is part of ongoing efforts within Africa to improve mobility for its citizens and strengthen continental bonds.
