加纳外交部长 Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa 先生宣布，政府将于明年第一季度实施电子签证政策。

他在 12 月底于首都阿克拉举行的首届侨民峰会闭幕式上表示："我很高兴地向各位宣布，在 John Dramani Mahama 总统的严格指示下，本届政府将于 2026 年第一季度推出电子签证政策。"

部长指出，该政策将包含对非洲侨民的特殊优惠措施，申请人可享受费用减免。

"我们已在外交部管理层会议上达成共识，将为海外非洲同胞制定特别政策，使你们无需支付与其他申请人相同的费用，能够更便捷、顺畅地重返祖国大陆。" Ablakwa 部长强调，该政策还将根据国别安排实施签证申请费对等原则。

"在讨论中，我们确保签证费用将基于对等原则。我们将参照各国对我们公民的签证收费标准，秉持互惠精神实施同等收费政策，以此为国家发展筹集必要资金。" 部长补充道。

复兴加纳航空

外交部长同时透露，前国家航空公司加纳航空即将重启运营。他表示总统已指示加快复航工作进度，由总统设立的技术委员会即将完成筹备工作。

"设想所有入境旅客都搭乘加纳航空，这些资金将投资于我国经济而非流向国外 -- 目前主要流向后疫情时代的欧洲。" Ablakwa 部长指出，若拥有本国航空公司，政府本可为峰会参与者提供免签证配套的优惠机票。

他强调加纳航空复航将重振民族自豪感，印证国父夸梅·恩克鲁玛博士 "黑人完全有能力管理自己事务" 的论断。

24 小时经济政策

Mahama 总统的 24 小时经济及出口加速发展顾问，Augustus Goosie Obuadum Tanoh 先生表示，政府的 24 小时经济计划为侨民提供了多元投资机遇。

他指出侨民投资结合政府干预，将有效改善经济结构性问题。该计划将通过农业工业化合作，依托物流枢纽、稳定能源和出口平台，在战略领域构建贯穿农业生产到加工的完整价值链。

Tanoh 先生指出，当前工厂、仓库、港口、医院、银行及市场等生产设施因系统割裂低效，导致生产、加工、物流与市场环节脱节，普遍存在产能闲置现象。新政策将确保医疗、金融及增长型产业实现全天候高效运转，顺应全球市场持续运作及价值链时效性日益提升的趋势。

Gov’t to Roll out E Visa Next Year

Government will roll out an Electronic Visa policy in the first quarter of next year, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced.

“I am delighted to announce to you that this government, under strict instruction of President John Dramani Mahama, will be rolling out an e visa policy in the first quarter of next year, 2026,” he said.

Mr Ablakwa was speaking at the closing session of the maiden Diaspora Summit held in Accra on Saturday, December 20, 2025.

The Minister stated that the e-visa policy would include a special dispensation for members of the African diaspora, who would be able to apply at a reduced cost.

“We have discussed at management and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that we are going to have a special dispensation for Africans in the diaspora so that you will not have to make the same payments as others will make, and you can travel to the motherland easily, smoothly and more conveniently,” he said.

Mr Ablakwa said the policy would also introduce a reciprocal approach to visa application fees based on country specific arrangements.

“In our discussion, we are going to make sure that there will be a certain reciprocity when it comes to those visa payments based on countries.

“How much we pay when we want to go into their country, we will make sure we are all paying the same in the spirit of reciprocity; so, we can all raise the funds that we need to develop our country,” he added.

Restoring Ghana Airways

The Foreign Affairs Minister also hinted at an imminent return of Ghana Airways, the former national carrier.

He said President Mahama had directed that efforts be accelerated to bring the airline back into operation, adding that a technical committee established by the President was close to completing its work.

“Imagine if all the tickets of those who flew into the country was on Ghana Airways, that money would have been an investment in the Ghanaian economy and not in the other countries, largely in post apocalyptic Europe, where those ticket resources are going to,” he said.

Mr Ablakwa said if the country had its own airline, the government could have extended discounted airfares to participants of the Diaspora Summit as part of a visa free arrangement.

He added that the return of Ghana Airways would signal national pride and the restoration of Ghana’s image, echoing the words of Dr Kwame Nkrumah that the “Black Man is capable of managing its own affairs”.

24 Hour Economy

The Presidential Advisor on the 24 Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development, Mr Augustus Goosie Obuadum Tanoh, said the government’s 24 Hour Economy programme presented multiple investment opportunities for members of the diaspora.

He said diaspora investment, combined with government intervention, would help address structural weaknesses within the economy.

According to him, the programme would organise production around integrated value chains in strategic sectors, linking agriculture to processing through agro-industrial partnerships supported by logistics hubs, reliable energy and export platforms.

Mr Tanoh said many productive assets including factories, warehouses, ports, hospitals, banks and markets were operating below capacity due to fragmented and inefficient systems that created bottlenecks between production, processing, logistics and markets.

He said the new policy would address those gaps by ensuring that services such as health, finance and growth industries operated efficiently across time, in recognition of the fact that global markets function continuously and that value chains were increasingly time sensitive.
