Ghana: Relaxation of Pre-Approval Travel Requirement for Foreign Nationals
January 12, 2023
Until January 15, 2023, all nationalities, including business visitors and tourists, are exempt from visa pre-approval requirements (a visa approval letter with traveler information) for travel to Ghana. Under this temporary policy, foreign nationals can receive a visa-on-arrival valid for up to 30 days. This policy change is meant to boost tourism in the country and is part of the Ghanaian ‘Africans in the Diaspora’ initiative to attract foreign nationals who have since traveled to and/or relocated to Ghana since 2019.
