Immigration officials across Africa: Reduce Visa regulations for African travellers

Making travel easy, simple and affordable is an important step towards boosting business, trade and tourism. One of the hassles associated with international travel is the process of applying for a visa.Applying for a visa can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive.

In addition, applying for a Visa often requires that flights and accommodation are booked in advance. If the Visa is denied, there is the risk of losing some (if not all) of those costs. This makes travel that much more risky for would-be travelers and business people.

In order to encourage inter-African travel for both tourism and business, government should take steps towards reducing the hassles and costs associated with travelling by easing visa regulations.

Take a Stand
Ineng is looking for entrepreneurs, business people, think tank scholars, government officials and all citizens to take a stand against excessive visa regulations and start demanding that government officials in their home countries ease visa regulations in order to stimulate tourism and intercontinental business.
