• Proof of accommodation

• A return or onward ticket

• Bank statements or proof of funds

• Evidence of vaccination (depending on region)

Additionally, visa-free access does not equal indefinite stay. Most destinations allow 30–180 days.

Passport validity should be at least 6 months beyond your departure date.

Ghana’s growing diplomatic influence is creating new opportunities for travelers, students, investors, and adventurers. With expanded visa-free access and more agreements underway, the Ghanaian passport is steadily becoming one of the most mobile in West Africa.
