Access denied? Travelling on an African passport

The Comb

Available for over a year

Money, time and stigma - the cost of travelling on an African passport. Your passport should be a window to the world – but if you’re from a country in Africa, visa queues, fees and expensive airline tickets mean crossing the continent can be tough. What happened to Africa’s borderless dream? And when travelling internationally, are visa denials more common for Africans? #TheComb Get in touch: thecomb@bbc.com Produced by Kim Chakanetsa
