The Vice-president of the Republic of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, declared that Ghana’s card will be accepted in international countries by 2022.
He stated this while he was reportedly making a speech at a public lecture on the digital economy at a university in Ghana.
He said;
“The Ghana card will be recognized as an e-passport and can be read and verified in all [International Civil Aviation Organization] ICAO-compliant borders (in 197 countries and 44,000 airports in the world). When this happens, holders of the Ghana card will be allowed to board any flight to Ghana.”
“Furthermore, the good news for diasporan Ghanaians is that when the Ghana Immigration Service is linked to the NIA architecture, diaspora Ghanaians who hold the Ghana card would not have to obtain visas to travel to Ghana.”
