Ghana Travel Advisory
Travel advisory november 20, 2023, ghana - level 2: exercise increased caution.
Updated to reflect threats against LGBTQI+ travelers.
Exercise increased caution in Ghana due to crime and violence against members of the LGBTQI+ community . Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.
Exercise increased caution in:
- Parts of the Bono East, Bono, Savannah, Northern, North East, and Upper East regions due to civil unrest.
Country summary: Violent crimes, such as carjacking and street mugging, do occur. These crimes often happen at night and in isolated locations. Exercise increased caution specifically due to crime:
- In urban areas and crowded markets
- When traveling by private or public transportation after dark as criminal elements may use blockades to slow down and restrict movement of vehicles
- In areas near the northern border in the Upper East and Upper West regions
The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. Local police may lack the resources to respond effectively to more serious crimes.
LGBTQI+ Travelers: Ghanaian law contains prohibitions on “unlawful carnal knowledge” – generally interpreted as any kind of sexual intimacy – between persons of the same sex. Punishments can include fines and/or incarceration. Anti-LGBTQI+ rhetoric and violence have increased in recent years. Members of the LGBTQI+ community have reported safety incidents that include targeted assault, rape, mob attacks, and harassment due to their identity.
Read the country information page for additional information on travel to Ghana.
If you decide to travel to Ghana:
- See our LGBTQI+ Travel Information page and section 6 of our Human Rights Report for further details.
- Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program ( STEP ) to receive alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
- Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter .
- Review the Country Security Report for Ghana.
- Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the Traveler’s Checklist .
- Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information related to your travel.
Areas Near the Northern Border in the Upper East and Upper West Regions – Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
U.S. citizens traveling in Ghana should exercise caution while visiting border areas, in particular the northern border, and be sure to read Security Alerts affecting those areas. Due to security concerns over criminal activity in remote areas, travel of U.S. government personnel to the northern and northwestern border is currently limited.

Before you head to Ghana to dive into the calming waters lapping Labadi Beach and shamelessly stuff your face with jollof rice (one of this West African country’s staple dishes), just one thing stands in your way – getting a tourist visa.
Depending on your nationality, applying for a visa to Ghana can be a tedious process, but it’s a necessary step to enter the country. The rules vary from country to country, so it's a good idea to check the latest requirements with your local Ghanaian embassy or consulate or the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) .
Here’s everything you need to know about the visa requirements for traveling to Ghana.
![requirements to travel to ghana from usa Wooden fishing boats with colorful flags dominate a sandy beach](https://lp-cms-production.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2022-04/Ghana-Cape%20Coast-World%20Trek%20Photography-500pxRF_38266882-RFE.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
Some nationalities can travel to Ghana visa-free
Nationals of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) – which includes most of Ghana's close neighbors – can visit Ghana without a visa for 90 days. Citizens from Singapore, Trinidad and Tobago, and Mauritius can also visit without a visa for 60 days.
African Union citizens can apply for a visa on arrival in Ghana
Citizens of countries in the African Union that are not part of ECOWAS – a long list that includes South Africa and countries in North Africa – can obtain a visa on arrival valid for 30 days after paying the required fee, usually US$150. A full list of member countries can be found on the African Union website .
Everyone else needs to apply for a visa in advance of their trip to Ghana
Other visitors must apply for a tourist visa before traveling to Ghana. To apply, you'll need a passport valid for at least six months, proof of a yellow fever vaccination (required for all visitors), a copy of your return ticket or travel itinerary, an invitation or reference letter (which can be from your accommodation in Ghana), and some passport photographs taken not more than three months before the date of the submission.
Visa requirements vary from embassy to embassy, so check with your local office for the exact requirements where you live. The visa cost varies depending on your nationality, but it is typically around US$60 for a single-entry visa valid for 90 days, and US$100 for a multiple-entry visa valid for six months. First-time visitors usually opt for a single-entry visa, but the multiple-entry visa is best if you are visiting Ghana along with other countries in the region, to avoid having to go through the visa application process again.

You can extend a tourist visa once you’re in Ghana
Visitors can extend their stay in Ghana by visiting one of the local immigration offices; there are offices throughout the country, including in Takoradi, Paga, Koforidua and Cape Coast . It is best to physically visit one of these offices when you are approaching the end date of your visa, as it can be hard to get reliable information by phone or online.
The current requirements for extending a visa can be found on the Ghana Immigration Service website – you'll need to complete the proper forms and provide two current passport-sized photographs, a letter stating your reason for an extension request if staying for more than three months, a valid airline return ticket and a valid passport, and there's a fee.
Working holiday visas are not offered in Ghana
Visitors wishing to work in Ghana must obtain a job offer from a local company and go through the complicated paperwork required by the Ghana Immigration Service to obtain a work permit. The GIS website details the application requirements , but note that work permits are usually only granted for people with specific skills that are hard to find in Ghana.

How you can apply
You will be able to apply for the amnesty through the website of the ICP – icp.gov.ae – and only need to visit a service centre once you receive a message for registering your biometric data.
When do I need to get fingerprinting/biometric done?
If you want to leave the country, there are two possible scenarios:
- In case you have completed the biometric previously, a request for an exit permit is submitted, and then the permit is issued directly.
- In case you have not gotten a biometric fingerprinting done previously, you will be directed to visit the specified fingerprinting centre (for those aged 15 years and above). The fingerprinting procedures will be completed and the exit permit will be issued.
Approved biometric/fingerprinting centres
- For visas issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs - Abu Dhabi: All service centres that have biometric fingerprint capture devices in Al Dhafra, Sweihan, Al Maqam and Al Shahama.
- For visas issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai: Al Aweer Service centre
- For visas issued by the General Directorates of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in the rest of the emirates: All service centres that have biometric fingerprint capture devices.
Duration of the exit permit
It is important to note that the exit permit is valid for 14 days, within which you are required to exit the country. All previous fines and restrictions will be automatically reinstated if departure is not possible within the deadline or after the permits expire outside the specified exemption period.
Does the decision include people who entered the country illegally?
The amnesty does not include infiltrators, and they must review their case with Department of Residency and Foreigners Affairs.
Where can I go to raise inquiries?
If you need assistance with your visa status, you can reach out to the ICP through the following channels:
- ICP call centre – 600 522222
- Live chat – icp.gov.ae
- Amer call centre (for Dubai) – 800 5111
- MOHRE call centre – 600590000
- Any of the social media channels of the ICP or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai (GDRFAD).
What happens if I am unable to settle my status within the specified period?
The law will be applied and fines and fees will be imposed on violators who do not settle their status within the specified period.
What kind of services will be provided to violators during the period of correction of status?
During the amnesty grace period, the following services will be provided:

- Issuing a new visa (work or residence).
- Adjusting the status of a valid visa.
- Issuing a residence permit for visa violators (work or residence).
What are the working hours during the grace period?
The working hours at the service centres where biometric fingerprints are registered will be extended - the working hours will be from 7am to 8pm.
How will violators who were born in the UAE be dealt with?
In the event of departure: A unified number will be created and an exit permit will be issued with exemption from fines by the executive departments based on a request in the smart system based on a passport or travel document.
In the event of a status change: Fines will be exempted based on a request submitted to the smart system to confirm the residence under the sponsorship of the head of the family or the employers and the guarantor, provided that the request is processed in the smart system by the executive departments.
How is the situation of a violator who has traffic violations and vehicle licensing settled in the event of departure?
The violating owner who wishes to leave is directed to give up the vehicle before the departure takes place.
Some violators have lost their passports. How will such cases be dealt with?
Violators who have lost their passports must follow the process:
With regard to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) - Abu Dhabi , a request is submitted through the smart system, and the violator is given a copy of residency details and a certificate stating that the passport is lost to obtain a travel document. The travel document issued by embassies and consulates is also relied upon for violators wishing to leave the country, provided that the data matches the data of the copy of residency details.
As for the procedures for the GDRFA in other emirates , they include reporting the loss through the General Command of the Police, according to which the travel document is issued.
If the head of the family is wanted or in violation of the visa regulations and the family members are in violation, how are their statuses settled?
Violators who have lost their passports must follow the following procedures:
Family members are allowed to leave the country, or adjust their status, as per the circumstances.
If the head of the family wishes to leave with his family, the residencies of the family members will be cancelled and they are allowed to leave. However, if the family members of the children wish to adjust their status, they are allowed to adjust their status to the sponsorship of the mother if she is working or according to the conditions for the work visa in accordance with the procedures in force.
If the head of the family benefits from the visa issuance service, the residencies of the family members under his sponsorship are not cancelled.
What should a violator do if his ordinary exit permit has expired, and he has been put on the banned list before the amnesty, and has yet to leave the country?
Beneficiaries from the amnesty must visit the Department of Residency and Foreigners Affairs to settle any outstanding restrictions and close their entries. After closing their entries, they should submit a request to either remain in the country and adjust their status or arrange for their departure. In this scenario, fines will be waived, and restrictions and entries will be removed. The amnesty beneficiary will be allowed to leave the country without a ban stamp if he chooses to do so.
What are the regulations for adjusting the status of a violating partner and investor who wants to leave?
A violating partner or investor must complete procedures related to cancelling the establishment in accordance with the ICP's regulations before submitting a request to leave the country.
How can the status of a family be adjusted if the head of the family is a wanted person or a violator, and the family members are also violators?
For violators who have lost their passports, the following procedures apply:
1. Departure of family members:
- Family members are allowed to either leave the country or adjust their status, depending on the situation.
- If the head of the family chooses to leave the country with the family, the residencies of the family members will be canceled, and they will be permitted to leave.
2. Status adjustment for family members (Children):
If the family members, such as children, want to adjust their status, they can do so by transferring their sponsorship to the mother, provided she is employed, or by meeting the conditions for a work visa according to the procedures outlined in the relevant guide.
3. Visa issuance service for the head of the family:
If the head of the family benefits from the visa issuance service, the residencies of the family members sponsored by him will not be canceled.
How can the status of violators sponsored by troubled companies be adjusted?
1. Adjusting the status of violators sponsored by companies without restrictions:
The status of violators under the sponsorship of companies that have no restrictions can be adjusted according to the procedures outlined in the relevant guide.
2. Adjusting the status of violators sponsored by troubled companies:
If violators are affiliated with troubled companies that have restrictions, their status can be adjusted by the ICP.
In cases where violators face challenges in adjusting their status through MOHRE, the executive departments will coordinate to facilitate the adjustment of their status.
