MALTA AND Ghana have signed a visa waiver deal on the sidelines of President Akufo-Addo’s visit to that country.
Both nations have also signed an Air Service agreement that will see the national airline of Malta flying directly to Ghana.
The direct flight would be the first of the Maltese carrier, Air Malta, to a Sub-Saharan nation.
The two nations also signed other agreements on the agreed minutes of the second meeting at the technical level on Ghana, Malta permanent joint commission on full bilateral cooperation, and double taxation.
There was also a Memorandum of Understanding on medicine, tourism and culture signed by both nations.
Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey signed the agreements on behalf of Ghana and the Maltese Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion, Carmelo Abela, signed on behalf of Malta.
President Akufo Addo and his Maltese counterpart, Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, witnessed the signing ceremony at the Grand Master Palace in the city of Valletta.
Addressing a joint press conference after the ceremony, Mr. Akufo Addo said “the possibility that we are going to have Air Malta coming to Accra directly from here is also a very encouraging sign for us.”

Having a visa waiver does not mean Ghanaians can go to the Embassy and say I want to visit Malta so here is my Passport give me Visa No.You only need Proper documentation before you can travel.It will only reduce the hustle of bringing your grandfathers info. and so on as compared to what U.S and U.K is given us.
Malta population of less than 500,000 people ie 1/2 million less than people of Tema and you think your visit is not a drain on Ghana
A very deceptive post. Dont know whether its intentioinal or lack of command over the english language; hence the choice of words. Malta is part of Schengen so they can't make any unilateral visa decision. Grow up!
My thoughts as well.
what kind of write-up is this? Or is it a click bait? "Ghana, Malta Sign Visa Waiver Deal" and there's nothing about Visa waiver deal in the story. Mischief. Could have been better entitling this story as Ghana, Malta Sign Air service agreement. Journalism is dying in this country!
NANA SHOW BOY AHAHA YOU ARE THE BEST PRESIDENT.
This is the kind of leader we need.If Malta is given us a visa waiver then which country is next IS it U.K of U.S
