Botswana and Rwanda are taking another major step toward African regional integration after signing a new migration agreement that will allow citizens of both countries to travel visa-free for up to six months.

The announcement was made by Botswana’s President Duma Boko during the recent state visit of Rwandan President Paul Kagame to Botswana.

Boko praised Rwanda’s decision to remove all visa requirements between the two nations, describing it as an exemplary.

The recent state visit by Kagame to Botswana marked a significant moment in the growing diplomatic and economic relationship between Rwanda and Botswana, culminating in the signing of six bilateral agreements aimed at deepening cooperation between the two African nations.

The visit, held at the invitation of Botswana, focused on trade, investment, regional connectivity, health cooperation, aviation, and the free movement of people.

Among the most notable outcomes was a new migration agreement that effectively expands visa-free travel between the two countries from the traditional 90-day stay to a six-month period.

Speaking during the signing ceremony, Boko welcomed Rwanda’s decision to grant Batswana visa-free visits of up to six months.
