Gabon/Sao Tome and Principe: Visa Waiver Agreement Signed

The governments of Sao Tome and Principe and Gabon signed an agreement which, when adopted by both governments, will allow nationals of one country on diplomatic, official and ordinary passports to travel to the other country without a visa. The governments have not yet released information on how long nationals will be able to stay in each country under this program. The agreement is expected to come into effect once the parliament of each country has adopted it and is expected to increase tourism and business-related travel in both countries.
