Ghana Visa on Arrival

Living as part of the diaspora often means having a heart (and a tax file) in two different places. You’re navigating multiple cultures, time zones, and probably have strong opinions about which country has the best snacks.

But beyond the cultural tug-of-war, many diasporans face a practical question: Should I formalize my connection to my “other” home?

Dual citizenship, the act of being a legal citizen of two countries simultaneously, is increasingly moving from a “nice-to-have” to a strategic necessity. It’s not just about collecting passport covers, it’s about practical power.

Ultimately, dual citizenship is about transforming your identity into an asset. It’s a practical tool for global life, giving you legal standing in the two places you call home.

If you’re on the fence, here are the top five reasons to consider making it official.

1. The Ultimate Travel Hack

Let’s start with the obvious. A second passport is the original travel hack. It can significantly expand your visa-free travel options.

Imagine using your Ghanaian passport for visa-free access across West Africa and your (hypothetical) Canadian passport for easy entry into Europe and the US. Furthermore, it means you can enter both of your home countries as a citizen. No more “foreigner” queues, no visa applications, and no questions about your return ticket. It’s like having a permanent fast pass.

2. Double the Economic Opportunity

This is a big one. As a citizen, you have the unrestricted right to work and do business.

• No Work Permits: You can apply for any job in either country without requiring a company to sponsor your visa (a process that often gets your resume thrown in the “too complicated” pile).
• Start a Business: It gives you the freedom to launch a venture, buy a company, or consult in two different markets without the crippling bureaucracy faced by foreigners.

You are no longer just a visitor; you are a full participant in two economies.

3. Secure Property and Investment Rights

Many countries place heavy restrictions on foreign ownership of land or real estate. They might ban it completely, impose heavy taxes, or limit the type of property you can buy.

As a citizen, those barriers vanish. You can buy that family land, invest in a flat, or secure an inheritance just like any other local. Dual citizenship gives you a secure foothold to build wealth and own assets in both nations, ensuring your investments are protected by law, not just by a precarious permit.

4. A Voice and a Vote

If you’re passionate about the direction of your home country (or your adopted one), dual citizenship is your ticket to the table. In many (though not all) cases, citizenship grants you the right to vote. You can participate in elections, join political parties, and have a legal say in the policies that affect you and your family “back home.”

5. Generational Perks and Social Security

Dual citizenship isn’t just about you; it’s about the future.

• For Your Children: In most cases, you can pass your citizenship down to your children, giving them the same global access and opportunities you’ve secured.
• Social Benefits: It can grant you access to social services in both countries, including public education (imagine paying local, not international, university fees), healthcare systems, and retirement benefits. It’s a powerful safety net.

How to Make It Happen: Join the Webinar

Convinced of the “why” but stuck on the “how”?

The path to dual citizenship can feel like a maze of paperwork, legal jargon, and confusing requirements. Whether it’s through ancestry, naturalization, or another route, knowing where to start is half the battle.

One of the most common but often misunderstood pathways is leveraging your legal residency.

To clarify this exact process, you are invited to our special webinar titled:

Acquiring Dual Citizenship: The Resident Permit Way

This event is designed for diasporans who are already living and working abroad (or at home) on a resident permit and want to understand how to convert that status into full citizenship without losing their original one. Join us to learn the step-by-step process, common pitfalls to avoid, and the legal strategies to make your dual citizenship goal a reality.

The information below reflects current Ghana Immigration Service requirements for the OK to Board (Pre-Approval Letter). Fees and procedures may change without notice. This content is for informational purposes only and does not replace official immigration advice.

Planning your trip to Ghana? We are here to make your travel smooth and stress-free. If you are flying without a visa issued by a Ghanaian embassy, you now need an OK to Board (Pre-Approval Letter) before your airline will allow you to travel. This letter is an important immigration requirement that confirms your travel approval in advance.

What Is an OK to Board (Pre-Approval Letter)?

The OK to Board, also called a Pre-Approval Letter, is an official document issued by the Ghana Immigration Service. It allows your airline to confirm that you are cleared to travel to Ghana. Without this letter, you may be denied boarding or delayed upon arrival.

Why You Need It

This letter is mandatory for travelers who plan to get a visa upon arrival or do not have a visa from a Ghanaian embassy. It ensures that your entry has been pre-cleared by immigration, avoiding last-minute travel issues.

How the Process Works

Your application must be submitted by a host or recognized organization in Ghana. The Diaspora Affairs GH team can assist you directly with the full process.

To apply, you need to provide:

• A copy of your passport’s bio page (valid for at least 6 months)
• A copy of your flight ticket or itinerary showing your booking reference
• The address where you will stay in Ghana or a letter of invitation from your host

Once we receive your details, we process your application with the Ghana Immigration Service and send you the official approval letter once ready.

Visa Fees and Payment Details

The payment is GHS 3,150 per person.
This fee covers the official pre-approval processing by the Ghana Immigration Service and is payable through the designated Mobile Money number: +233 544 240 294 (Joseph Bekoe).

Once your payment is confirmed, the Diaspora Affairs GH team immediately begins your immigration pre-approval application and follows up until completion.

OK to Board Service Fee

In addition to the visa pre-approval processing, a separate service fee of GHS 1,450 per person applies for the OK to Board (Pre-Approval Letter) support handled by Diaspora Affairs GH.
This covers document verification, submission, coordination with immigration, and digital delivery of your approved letter.

Payments should be made via Mobile Money to +233 544 240 294 (Joseph Bekoe, GDAAR Foundation).

Final Payment at the Airport

When you arrive at Kotoka International Airport in Accra, you will make a final payment of $200 USD at the immigration counter to receive your official visa.
This payment is separate from the processing and service fees and is handled directly by immigration officials.

Service Hours

Our OK to Board service operates Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM GMT.
Please note that processing support is also available 24 hours a day for urgent travel needs.

Important Reminders Before You Travel

• Apply early to allow enough time for processing.
• Print your OK to Board letter and keep it with your flight documents.
• Make sure your passport and flight details match your approval letter.
• Carry your accommodation or invitation letter for inspection upon arrival.

Ghana’s coastline tells stories that shaped the world. Along its shores stand centuries-old forts and castles that serve as powerful reminders of the transatlantic slave trade. Among the most renowned are Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle, both symbols of remembrance and resilience. Explore these sites with Diaspora Affairs Heritage Tours

Today, these sites serve as places of reflection and healing. Many visitors light candles, say prayers, or leave messages of hope, honoring the lives lost and celebrating the enduring strength of the human spirit. They remind us not only of pain but also of endurance, unity, and the unbreakable will to overcome, a vital chapter in both Ghana’s story and humanity’s shared history.

Journey Through History: Cape Coast and Elmina Castles

Standing as solemn sentinels on Ghana’s southern shores, Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle are poignant UNESCO World Heritage Sites. They bear witness to the turbulent centuries of the transatlantic slave trade and the resilience of those who endured its horrors.

Built by European traders between the 15th and 17th centuries, these fortresses initially served as trading posts for gold and ivory before becoming central hubs in the trade of enslaved Africans. A guided tour through their halls and dungeons offers a deeply moving encounter with this painful past, culminating at the infamous “Door of No Return,” through which countless Africans took their final steps on home soil.

Cape Coast Castle: A Fortress of Agony and Endurance

Originally constructed by the Swedes in 1653 for timber and gold trade, Cape Coast Castle was later seized and expanded by the British, transforming it into one of the major slave-trading centers along the West African coast.

Key Sites Within Cape Coast Castle

1. The Male and Female Dungeons
   Cramped, airless, and dark, these chambers held hundreds of enslaved Africans in unimaginable conditions before their forced departure. The oppressive atmosphere still echoes with their suffering and strength.
2. The “Door of No Return”
   This portal marked the last exit from the African continent for those bound for the Americas. Today, a plaque above it reads “Door of Return,” symbolizing reconciliation and a spiritual homecoming for descendants of the African diaspora.
3. The Governor’s Residence and Council Chambers
   Located directly above the male dungeons, these opulent quarters starkly contrast with the misery below, a haunting symbol of moral blindness and exploitation.
4. The Condemned Cell
   A small, unlit room where individuals who resisted were left to die as punishment.
5. The Bastions and Cannons
   The ramparts, lined with cannons, reflect the castle’s military importance and the fierce European rivalries for dominance over the trade.
6. The West African Historical Museum
   This museum within the castle preserves artifacts and exhibits that deepen visitors’ understanding of Ghana’s history and the transatlantic slave trade.

Elmina Castle: The Oldest European Structure in Sub-Saharan Africa

Built by the Portuguese in 1482, Elmina Castle is the oldest European building in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially a fortress for gold trading, it later became one of the largest and most notorious slave-trading depots under Portuguese, Dutch, and British control.

Significant Sites Within Elmina Castle

1. The Dungeons
   Male and female dungeons housed thousands in suffocating darkness. The compacted earth floors, still darkened by centuries of human suffering, stand as chilling witnesses to history.
2. The “Door of No Return”
   Like at Cape Coast, this door marked the enslaved Africans’ final passage from their homeland into captivity.
3. The Governor’s Balcony and Secret Staircase
   From here, the governor once looked down upon enslaved women in the courtyard, choosing those he wished to exploit. A secret staircase led directly from his quarters to the female dungeons, a tragic symbol of the abuse of power.
4. The Church
   Within the castle walls stood a chapel where Europeans worshipped, even as unimaginable suffering occurred just below, a haunting paradox of faith and inhumanity.
5. Solitary Confinement Cells
   Lightless and suffocating, these cells punished anyone who resisted or rebelled.
6. The Dutch Cemetery
   Located just outside the castle, this burial ground holds the remains of European officers and traders who once lived and died at Elmina.

A Place of Reflection: Learning and Healing

Visiting Ghana’s slave castles is not just sightseeing. It is a journey of remembrance, education, and emotional reconnection.

Guides bring history to life through powerful storytelling, sharing narratives of courage, loss, and endurance. For many in the African diaspora, standing within these stone walls is a deeply personal moment, a spiritual homecoming that bridges centuries of separation.

Both Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle stand as solemn teachers of history and resilience, urging the world to remember, reflect, and ensure that such atrocities never happen again.

Relocating to Ghana is an exciting decision, whether you are a Ghanaian returning home or part of the wider African diaspora seeking a new start. Ghana offers vibrant culture, business opportunities and a sense of belonging, but moving to any new country comes with challenges. Asking the right questions before you pack your bags can help you plan realistically and transition smoothly. One of the first things to check is entry requirements. For many travelers, Ghana’s visa on arrival policy makes the process easier, but it is still important to confirm eligibility and prepare the right documents.

Below are ten essential questions to guide your relocation journey.

1. What Visa or Residence Permit Do I Need?

Determine your legal status well in advance. Long-term visas, residence permits and dual citizenship options all have different requirements. Start the application process early to avoid last minute issues.

2. How Much Will It Cost to Live Comfortably?

Create a budget for rent, utilities, transport, healthcare, education and day-to-day living. Prices can vary between Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast and smaller towns. Having a realistic financial plan prevents unpleasant surprises.

3. Which City or Region Fits My Lifestyle?

Accra is a business hub with a fast pace. Cape Coast is rich in history and heritage. Kumasi offers a blend of commerce and tradition. Smaller communities offer more affordable living. Think about your work, family needs and lifestyle before choosing a location.

4. What Healthcare Options Are Available?

Research hospitals, clinics and emergency services before you arrive. Consider health insurance plans that cover you in Ghana or explore local private insurance options.

5. How Easy Is It to Open a Bank Account and Transfer Funds?

Familiarize yourself with local banking requirements, mobile money platforms and international transfer fees. This ensures your finances are accessible when you need them.

6. What Are the Rules for Land and Property Ownership?

Ghana operates mainly on leasehold land systems. Always work with a licensed lawyer or reputable agency to verify titles and avoid disputes when renting or purchasing property.

7. How Will I Earn an Income?

Clarify your employment or business plans ahead of time. If you are working remotely, check internet reliability. If you plan to invest or start a business, understand registration, licensing and tax obligations.

8. What Is the Education System Like for Children?

Families should research international and local schools, curricula and admission timelines. Some schools have waiting lists, so plan early.

9. How Safe Are Different Neighborhoods?

Security varies from area to area. Ask locals, check diaspora forums and visit neighborhoods if possible. Factor in access to utilities, transport and other amenities.

10. What Support Networks Exist for Newcomers?

Adjusting to a new country is easier with support. Join diaspora associations, community groups and organizations like Diaspora Affairs GH for relocation assistance, events and networking.

Final Thoughts

Relocating to Ghana can be a fulfilling journey when you plan ahead. By asking these ten questions, you will identify potential challenges before they arise and set yourself up for a smooth transition. Organizations such as Diaspora Affairs GH offer pre-arrival guidance, relocation support and heritage programs to help you feel at home from day one.

Ghana is more than just a place to visit. It is a place of self-discovery, culture, and history. On August 28, 2025, people from the diaspora took a one-day excursion from Accra that gave them a new perspective on the past and the future. Michael from Diaspora Affairs Ghana and Albert, a skilled driver-guide, led the trip.

Assin Manso Slave River: Following in the Ancestors’ Footsteps

The journey began at the Assin Manso Slave River, a site that carries deep historical meaning. Enslaved Africans were brought here to take their last bath before being moved to the coastal castles. Visiting the river gave the group the chance to pause, reflect, and understand an important part of history.

Beyond the Canopy: Kakum National Park

From there, the group headed to Kakum National Park. Known for its canopy walkway stretched high above the rainforest, Kakum offered a very different experience. The walk across the bridges and the quiet of the forest made it a refreshing stop that balanced history with nature.

Cape Coast Castle: Echoes of the Past

The final tour stop was Cape Coast Castle, one of the most significant sites of the transatlantic slave trade. Walking through the castle highlighted why it remains such an important landmark, not only in Ghana but in world history.

Dinner and Reflections

The day ended with dinner at Coconut Grove. Over a shared meal, conversations turned to how history connects to the present, and why freedom from limiting mindsets is just as important as remembering the past. The group spoke about the future, about identity, and about the importance of connection between Africans and the diaspora.

They left with stronger ties to Ghana, a deeper awareness of history, and a simple truth: our story is never lost, because it is always calling us back.
