Chad to Allow Visa-Free Entry for All Africans by 2027
The Republic of Chad has announced that from January 1, 2027, citizens of all African countries will be permitted to enter without visas. Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby stated that this initiative is intended to promote African integration and facilitate the free movement of people and goods across the continent.
Déby emphasized that removing visa restrictions would strengthen relationships among African nations and encourage increased cross-border movement. This policy aligns with Chad's commitment to the broader objectives of African unity and regional integration.
The decision is expected to simplify travel for African tourists, businesspeople, and other visitors to Chad. With this announcement, Chad becomes the eighth African nation to implement a blanket visa-free entry policy for African nationals, joining countries such as Benin Republic, The Gambia, Rwanda, Seychelles, Ghana, Kenya, and Togo, which had previously adopted similar measures.
