Entry requirements

All foreign visitors to Ghana require a visa valid for at least 3 months after the duration of intended stay as well as evidence of a return ticket. EU and US nationals also require a tourist visa for their stay. In theory visas can be issued for up to 1 year but this is at the discretion of airport officials and only a 1 month stay can be guaranteed on a tourist visa. Costs vary according to nationality but for British citizens the prices are £30 for a single entry visa, £40 for a multiple entry visa valid for six months, £60 for a multiple entry visa valid for a year and £70 for a multiple entry visa valid for 2 years. Those catching a connecting flight in Ghana can apply for a transit visa which is valid for 24 hours and costs £10. Applications should be made to the nearest Ghana Consulate or Embassy.
