    Africa Visa Openness Report 2018 AFRICAN UNION “ Regional integration and trade based upon the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital is at the core of the business of the African Development Bank… we must accelerate investments in regional and national infrastructure, especially, to boost connectivity, reduce costs and raise competitiveness.” Akinwumi A. Adesina President, African Development Bank Group1 What is happening on visas in Africa matters. The backdrop is a historic one, with a growing number of African countries moving to build ties through trade, open up the continent’s skies and promote free movement of people. From being seen simply as a question of forms, fees and formalities, a country’s decision to allow visa-free or visa-on-arrival access is making a steady buzz in policy circles and in the media. Frontrunners have been inspiring more open border policies across the continent. As visa and travel document solutions catch on and use of digital technology streamlines the visa process, more African travellers can take up tourism, investment and business opportunities. As Africans start to enjoy greater access to a higher number of countries Africa-wide, the continent’s welcoming visa policy is gearing up to attract global visitors. 1 The Africa Visa Openness Index Contents The Africa Visa Openness Index The High 5 for transforming Africa 4 measures how open African countries are when it comes to Foreword, African Development Bank 5 visas by looking at what they ask of citizens from other countries African Union’s Agenda 2063 6 in Africa when they travel.

  • Africa Visa Openness Index
    Africa Visa Openness Report 2017 AFRICAN UNION “ We are trying to drive a continental visa policy reform programme for all of Africa. We want to remove many of the challenges and procedures facing many people when they travel. We want to make sure there is reciprocity on visa issuance across countries and we want to promote talent mobility all across Africa.” Akinwumi Adesina, President, African Development Bank Group Migration, the movement of people from one place to another, is at the foundation of Africa’s collective history. Travel across regions has led to trade, investment and innovation, and has promoted stronger connections between countries and citizens continent-wide. There is a growing momentum on making it easier for Africans to travel across the continent, whether as business people, students or tourists. With the recent global debates on closing down borders, the trend for greater openness in Africa offers a positive counterbalance, where instead, breaking down barriers to travel is seen to promote prosperity and growth. 1 Contents The High 5s for transforming Africa 4 Visa Openness in Africa 11 Foreword 2016 Findings: Visa Openness 12 Pierre Guislain, Vice-President, Average visa openness 12 Private Sector, Infrastructure and Industrialization, Visa openness in Africa: country scores and ranking 13 African Development Bank 5 Visa openness in Africa by category: no visa, visa on arrival, visa required 14 African Union’s Agenda 2063 6 2016 Findings: Top 20 scoring countries 16 Foreword A closer look at visa openness by category
