HOW OPEN ARE AFRICAN COUNTRIES? The Panagora Blog


With travel restrictions being lifted up around Africa, the African Development Bank’s Visa Openness Index Report which measures which countries are facilitating travel for citizens of other countries, gives a picture of the state of travel in Africa. .

What’s in this year’s report

  • African borders have become increasingly open over the past five years.
  • Africans do not need a visa to travel to 26% of other African countries
  • Africans need visas to travel to 46% of other African countries
  • 24 countries offer electronic visas (eVisas) reflecting 44% of the continent, a significant increase from 9 countries in 2016.
  • The most visa-open countries are found in East and West Africa—these two regions accounted for 80 per cent of the top 20 most visa-open African countries in 2020.
  • Seychelles, Benin and The Gambia are the only African countries that offer visa-free access to all Africans.

Why it matters : The adoption of eVisas has made the issuance and management process of Visas easier, a further increase in its adoption by African governments could lead to more openness. While Identity theft and forgery are valid concerns, they're negligible when compared to gains from the increase in openness and the development of regional tourism.
