Issuing Visa On Arrival Commendable, Says BFTU :: Mmegi Online

The Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) has learnt with excitement the decision by the Botswana government to, from November 24, 2018, commence the issuance of visa on arrival (at the point of entry) to travellers, especially Africans visiting the country. This move is commendable and timely.

On August 20, 2018, during a meeting we held with the His Excellency Dr Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi we had submitted the same recommendation to the President for consideration.

This decision will go a long way to boost tourism, stimulate the economy through the import of revenue, ideas, innovations, talents and skills, as well as cultural dynamism. The decision goes to show and reinforces Botswana’s commitment to the integration of Africa. BFTU as a member of the African Trade Union Migration Network (ATUMNET) has been championing this cause for an improved integrated Africa under her “Visa Open Africa” campaign.
