Hispania imetangaza sera mpya ya kuwaruhusu raia wa nchi nane za Afrika kuingia nchini humo bila visa kwa ziara za muda mfupi zisizozidi siku 90 kuanzia mwaka 2026.
Nchi zitakazonufaika na utaratibu huo ni Rwanda, Mauritius, Botswana, Eswatini, Ushelisheli (Seychelles), Lesotho, Cape Verde na Namibia.
Hatua hiyo inalenga kurahisisha safari za utalii, biashara na shughuli nyingine za muda mfupi, huku ikitarajiwa kuimarisha uhusiano kati ya Hispania na mataifa hayo ya Afrika
==================================
As a step towards strengthening its ties with Africa, Spain will grant visa-free access to citizens of eight African nations for short stays of up to 90 days.
This move eases travel restrictions significantly and opens up new opportunities for cultural exchange, tourism and business between Spain and these countries.
Spain’s decision to broaden its visa-free access represents a significant shift in travel policy for 2026. The Country has updated its short-stay visa policy for African passport holders. The selected countries are:
Spain’s decision to include these countries on the visa-exempt list recognises the growing importance of these nations as travel and business partners. This means that travellers from these countries can visit Spain without the hassle of applying for a visa beforehand, making spontaneous trips much more accessible.
This update is a welcome development for many African travellers, who have long had to deal with complicated visa procedures when planning trips to Europe.
The new policy encourages tourism and strengthens the economic and cultural ties between Spain and these African nations. It’s a win-win situation: travellers enjoy greater freedom, and Spain benefits from the influx of visitors and business opportunities.
