From January 1, 2027, the Republic of Congo will abolish visa requirements for all African citizens, marking a major step toward continental integration. Announced in Brazzaville by President Denis Sassou Nguesso, the move positions Congo among Africa’s champions of free movement.

The Republic of Congo has announced the end of visa requirements for all African nationals entering its territory, effective January 1, 2027.

President Denis Sassou Nguesso made the declaration yesterday during the 2026 Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank in Brazzaville, held alongside celebrations marking Africa Day.

The announcement immediately drew attention across the continent, as Congo became the latest African nation to embrace visa-free travel for fellow Africans.
