The Republic of Congo, known as Congo-Brazzaville, is set to join the other African countries that have opened their borders to African nationals without requiring an entry visa, the country’s president said.
Denis Sassou Nguesso said that the scrapping of visa requirements to his country will begin next year, in line with his commitment to pan-African ideals.
“From Jan. 1, 2027, entry into the Republic of Congo will no longer be subject to a visa for African nationals,” he said to loud applause during celebrations marking the 63rd Africa Day in the capital Brazzaville.
A few African countries such as Rwanda, Kenya, Gambia, Seychelles and Ghana have taken a bold step to scrap visa payments for African nationals in a move analysts say demonstrates a new sense of unity across the continent.
