BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC – St. Kitts and Nevis and Ghana have signed an agreement on visa exemption for holders of ordinary passports, marking a major advancement in people-to-people relations between the two countries.
A government statement said that the agreement removed visa requirements for holders of ordinary passports travelling between the two countries and that “the measure is expected to facilitate easier travel and expand opportunities for tourism, business, cultural exchange, and educational cooperation.
“The decision reflects the shared commitment of both governments to promote friendly relations and remove barriers that limit engagement between their citizens,” the statement added.
Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew, who is on an official visit to Ghana, noted that the agreement strengthens practical connectivity between the two nations.
“By removing visa requirements, we are making it easier for our people to connect, collaborate, and explore new opportunities. This is about deepening bonds and opening doors,” he added.
The statement said that the agreement represents a tangible step toward enhancing mobility and strengthening longstanding historical and cultural ties.
The two countries had, in November 2018, signed a reciprocal visa waiver agreement for holders of diplomatic and official/service passports, allowing officials from both countries to travel without a visa and strengthening bilateral relations.
“This new stage, which extends the arrangement to holders of regular passports, represents another important step in deepening people-to-people connections and cooperation between the two nations,” the statement added.
