Visa Requirements

Entry requirements and visa procedures

The process happens online before you travel. You fill out an application on the Ghana Immigration Service website, upload documents, and pay a fee. After it is reviewed and approved (which can take several days), you will get a Visa Approval Letter by email. This letter is what you must present upon arrival in Ghana. At the airport, you show your passport, the printed letter, and your Yellow Fever card to the immigration officer. They will then put the official visa stamp into your passport, allowing you to enter the country.

Here is what you need:

  • passport valid for at least 6 more months.
  • A digital passport photo with a white background.
  • Proof of your flight booking and hotel reservation.
  • A recent bank statement showing sufficient funds.
  • Your Yellow Fever Vaccination Card (mandatory).
  • credit/debit card to pay the online visa fee.
