How to get a visa to travel to Ghana
Getting a visa for Ghana is not that hard — the process is actually quite straightforward once you know what to expect. All visitors entering Ghana must have a valid entry visa or, for Commonwealth nationals, an entry permit issued by a Ghanaian embassy, high commission, consulate, or any authorised visa-issuing body acting on behalf of the Government of Ghana. (ECOWAS nationals, along with citizens of countries that have specific bilateral agreements with Ghana, are exempt.) ECOWAS refers to the Economic Community of West African States.
Travelling to Ghana also requires proof of a yellow fever vaccination, which is checked on arrival, so make sure you’ve received the jab and have your vaccination card with you. If you’d like a full breakdown of everything you need to know before your trip — from health requirements to what to pack — you can find it here:
