A Step-by-Step Guide for Returning Diasporans
Returning to your homeland should be a joyful experience, not a bureaucratic maze. That’s why GDAAR Foundation is here to simplify your Ghanaian homecoming with our comprehensive guide to immigration processes and our exclusive Visa on Arrival program.
Why Choose Ghana for Your Homecoming?
Ghana beckons with its vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and burgeoning economic opportunities. It’s a land where heritage meets innovation, offering a unique blend of traditional values and modern aspirations. But before you pack your bags, let’s navigate the immigration process together.
Visa Options for Returning Diasporans:
- Right of Abode Visa: This visa is for Ghanaians born abroad or those who have lost their Ghanaian citizenship but wish to reclaim it. It offers the right to live and work in Ghana indefinitely.
- Work Permit: If you have a job offer in Ghana, you’ll need a work permit. The process involves your employer applying on your behalf.
- Other Visas: Depending on your reason for returning, you might consider other visa options like student visas or visitor visas.
Required Documentation:
The specific documents you’ll need depend on the visa type, but typically include:
- Valid passport
- Birth certificate
- Proof of Ghanaian heritage (if applicable)
- Job offer letter (for work permits)
- Police clearance certificate
- Medical examination results
Application Procedures and Timelines:
Visa applications are usually processed through Ghanaian embassies or consulates in your country of residence. Processing times can vary, so it’s best to start early. GDAAR Foundation can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
GDAAR Foundation’s Visa on Arrival Program:
For eligible members, GDAAR Foundation offers a streamlined Visa on Arrival (VOA) program. This eliminates the need for lengthy embassy procedures, allowing you to receive your visa upon arrival in Ghana.
Benefits of GDAAR’s VOA Program:
- Faster processing
- Less paperwork
