Burkina Faso has abolished visa fees for all African travelers, effective immediately, aiming to boost regional integration and tourism. While fees are scrapped, an online visa application and approval process remains mandatory.

• Burkina Faso is the latest nation to ease entry for African visitors, joining Ghana, Rwanda, and Kenya.
• The decision was announced by Security Minister Mahamadou Sana following a cabinet meeting chaired by military leader Capt Ibrahim Traoré.
• The move aligns with Capt Traoré's commitment to Pan-Africanism and is also intended to improve Burkina Faso's international visibility.
