The New Patriotic Party (NPP) government is delivering on its promises of ensuring a stress-free travel for Ghanaians.
Aside reducing the processing times in acquiring passports, findings by Igbere TV showed that the government has increased the validity of Ghanaian passports from 5 to 10 years.
Igbere TV reports that NPP is Ghana’s ruling party, a centre-right and liberal conservative party in Ghana. Since the democratization of Ghana in 1992, it has been one of the two dominant parties in Ghana politics; its leading rival being the centre-left National Democratic Congress (NDC). John Kufuor of the NPP was President of Ghana from 2001 to 2009.
Today, Foreign Minister Shirley Botchwey has signed a visa-free travel policy with the United States on behalf of all Ghanaians.
In this new policy, Botchwey told Igbere TV that holders of Ghanaian passports without any criminal records are now entitled to visit the United States without visas for a period of 30 days.
Collaborating Botchwey’s claim, the Satirist Attachee at the Embassy, Dr. Baffour Gyawu told journalists that the only document needed to board a plane to the US is a valid passport and Police clearance certificate.
“Traffic offences are considered criminal”, Gyawu told Igbere TV Friday morning.
