00:00Burkina Faso is now free to visit for all African nationals.
00:05Wagadougou says it's waiving fees on entry visas for citizens across the continent.
00:11The only requirement for Africans wanting to visit Burkina Faso
00:15is to fill out an online form and have their application approved.
00:20Until now, a tourist visa cost just under $100, while a business visa ran to about $165.
00:27The country's Minister of Security, Mohamedou Sanna,
00:31said the measure was aimed at strengthening the historic bonds of brotherhood between African people
00:36as part of a pan-Africanist agenda of interim president Ibrahim Traoré.
00:42Sanna said the move would also help to boost tourism to the West African nation,
00:46promote Burkina Faso's culture and improve Burkina Faso's visibility abroad.
00:52But Sanna stressed that free does not mean exempt.
00:55Visas haven't been abolished,
00:57and visitors still have to obtain a valid visa in order to enter the country.
