The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that participants of the upcoming Diaspora Summit 2025 will receive free visas ahead of the event, scheduled for 19–20 December 2025 at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
The Ministry says the gesture fulfills a pledge made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs during the media launch of the summit, and is being offered in the spirit of Pan-African solidarity to encourage Africans and people of African descent to attend and actively participate.
Prospective participants have been advised to visit the nearest Ghana Embassy, High Commission, or Consulate in their country of residence to obtain their visas before travelling to Ghana.
Organisers say this year’s summit aims to foster deeper cooperation, strengthen engagement with the global African diaspora, and forge lasting partnerships toward the continent’s shared development goals.
The deadline for online registration via www.diasporasummitghana.org is Monday, 8 December 2025.

Barbados, Bahamas, Dominica, Mauritius, Seychelles, South Africa, Kenya, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Tanzania, Trinidad & Tobago, Singapore, Sao Tome & Principe, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Jamaica, Rwanda, Morocco, Guyana, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Malawi, and Grenada.
