Ghana simplifies visa regime for tourists from December 1, 2024 to January 15, 2025

Ghana has announced a change in its visa policy that came into effect on December 1, 2024 and will last until January 15, 2025. Tourists during this period will be able to obtain a visa on arrival without prior approval. This simplification of the visa process is an important step in support of the annual cultural event “December at GH” and the strategic initiative “Beyond the Return”. It is a great opportunity for tourists from all over the world to enjoy the country's rich cultural life.

• As part of the December in GH event, Ghana will host many cultural events in December, including the Hogbetsotso Festival and Kwahu Paragliding. These festivals provide a unique opportunity for travelers to immerse themselves in local traditions while enjoying musical performances, cooking exhibitions and a host of other activities to help celebrate the end of the year in a fun way.
• The Beyond the Return initiative is linked to new approaches to the visa process, which aims to encourage the diaspora and people of African descent to return to Ghana, maintain ties with the homeland and become more familiar with local culture and traditions.

The changes in visa policy are thus part of a strategy to develop Ghana's tourism potential and support local businesses, which will lead to the country's economic growth. Ghana is eager to welcome visitors who are ready to discover its unique heritage and cultural traditions.

Ghana is the perfect place to celebrate the end of the year, offering a rich cultural program and exciting events that allow you to enjoy the atmosphere of unique traditions and festivities.
