The official Ghana Passport Services portal, last updated on August 13, 2026, lists 41 destinations covered by visa-free or visa-waiver arrangements for ordinary passport holders. This is separate from the broader arrangements available to holders of service and diplomatic passports.

The introduction of the chip-embedded passport marks a major step in Ghana's digital transformation agenda.

Beyond ECOWAS, Ghana has also expanded visa-waiver arrangements with countries outside West Africa.

One recent development was the signing of an agreement with Zambia in February 2026 during President John Dramani Mahama’s three-day state visit. The agreement provides for visa waivers for holders of diplomatic, official/service and ordinary passports. Under the current Ghana Passport Services list, ordinary passport holders can stay in Zambia for up to 30 days.
