The Ghana Private Visa allows foreign nationals to visit Ghana for personal purposes and enjoy seeing family and loved ones within the confines of immigration laws and regulations.

Private visa to Ghana

A private visa to the Republic of Ghana is intended for foreign nationals who plan to visit the country for personal purposes, such as meeting relatives, friends, attending family events, etc. A private visa allows you to enter and stay in Ghana for a maximum period of up to three months.

It is important to note that with such a visa, visitors are not authorized to work in the country. But if the visitor plans to work in Ghana or is transferred to work for a Ghanaian company, he or she needs to apply for the appropriate work visa with a work permit.

Apply for a private visa to Ghana

Most foreign nationals wishing to visit Ghana for private purposes must have a visa. But currently about 30 countries have visa-free travel with Ghana for short stays, usually for a period of 60 to 90 days. This means that citizens of these countries do not need to apply for a visa, and only need a valid passport to enter Ghana.

Please note that visa requirements and procedures are subject to change, so it is important to get up-to-date information before applying for a private visa.
