Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I work in Ghana with a business visa?

A business visa can be used if you are planning to enter Ghana for commercial or trade related activities. These can include engaging in sales negotiations or building contacts for your company. Other activities include undergoing business negotiations, attending business meetings, participating in expeditions and conferences. However, you should note that business visas do not allow you to engage in cash-generating employment. For this, you must apply for the required work permit. If you fail to do so, your activities can be dubbed as illegal and you might end up facing criminal charges.

2. Is it mandatory to procure a yellow fever vaccination certificate while applying for a Ghana business visa?

Yes. When you apply for any category of Ghana visas, you must present a yellow fever vaccination certificate. This is because there is a risk of yellow fever transmission in all areas of this country. Therefore, any traveller above the age of 9 months must possess a yellow fever vaccination certificate. A yellow fever certificate comes with a lifetime validity and hence, it cannot be rejected even though more than ten years have passed since your date of vaccination. Even boosters and revaccination are not required.

3. I entered Ghana on a business visa but I lost my passport. What can I do?

When you are in Ghana and you lose your passport or it has been stolen, damaged, or expired, you can visit the UK Embassy in Ghana for an Emergency Travel Document (ETD). An ETD is available to any UK citizen when an official British passport. And when you do not have the time to apply for a new passport or renew an old one in Ghana, you can use an ETD. For this purpose, you need to present proof of your travel plans at the immigration office. Once you get the ETD, you can use it to exit Ghana. The document will contain all your travel plans and if you decide to change anything, you have to apply for a fresh ETD.

Am I eligible for a multiple entry business visa?

The High Commission of Ghana has a set rule for allowing multiple entry visas to UK citizens who have held at least one or two Ghana visas before. Hence, if you have not travelled to Ghana previously, you need to apply for a single entry visa for the first time. Later, you can again apply for a multiple entry visa.
