Countries Africans can visit with a UK Visa
I realized that a lot of people don’t know this but there are several countries you enter with a valid UK Visa. Please note that you cannot use a transit visa as most countries require the Visa to be multiple entry, some countries don’t accept visitor’s visa (I indicate those in the list).
One point to remember is that the acceptance of a UK visa doesn’t automatically guarantee entry for example: I’ve heard that some travelers were returned from Mexico even with a valid UK Visa. The immigration officials at your point of entry have the absolute authority and the final say on whether you can enter the country or not. Therefore, it’s highly recommended to always carry all necessary documentation and comply with the country’s immigration rules and regulations.
Some countries require the UK visa to be multiple-entry and have been used at least once to travel to the UK. I might interchange Visa on Arrival with VOA.
Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s dive into the list; Here are countries you can visit with a Valid UK Visa
