Burkina Faso has made a bold move — the country has now scrapped visa fees for all African nationals. This means if you’re traveling from anywhere on the continent, you will no longer have to pay to get a visa for Burkina Faso.
The government says the visa application process will still be in place, but unlike before, it will now be completely free. Before this change, tourists had to pay about $100, and business travelers paid around $165 just to enter the country.
This decision is more than just about travel — it’s about African unity and integration. By removing these costs, Burkina Faso is opening its doors wider to Africans, making it easier to connect, trade, and build stronger ties across the continent.
For many, this is seen as a step that could inspire other African nations to rethink their visa policies and break down barriers that keep Africans apart.
