Liberia has reaffirmed its visa-free entry policy for citizens of 12 African countries, allowing eligible travellers to visit the West African nation without obtaining a visa before arrival.
According to the Embassy of Liberia, in an article published by legit.ng, the arrangement is aimed at promoting regional integration, facilitating easier cross-border movement, and strengthening trade, tourism, and diplomatic ties across the African continent.
While there are over 50 countries on the African continent, Liberia grants this privilege only to African countries that are members of an important regional organisation.
