If you’re planning a trip to Ghana and have not secured a visa from your home country, Ghana offers a Visa on Arrival (VoA) option for eligible travelers. This convenient process is ideal for those traveling for business, tourism, or short-notice emergencies.
What Is a Ghana Visa on Arrival?
A Ghana Visa on Arrival, also known as an emergency entry visa, is an official permit issued by the Ghana Immigration Service. It allows travelers to legally enter Ghana without prior visa approval from a Ghanaian embassy or consulate abroad. The visa is typically valid for 30 days and can be extended during your stay. Note that it is not valid for multiple entries; if you exit and re-enter Ghana, you will need to obtain a new visa.

This visa is designed to assist travelers in specific circumstances, including:
- Citizens of countries without Ghanaian embassies or consulates
- Emergency or humanitarian travelers
- Business professionals and conference attendees
- African diasporans returning to Ghana
- Tourists with urgent travel needs
Additionally, nationals from countries such as South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, and over 30 other African nations may apply if they meet the necessary entry conditions.
