Tourist Visa (Single Entry)

The Ghana Tourist Visa (Single Entry) is governed by the Immigration Act, 2000 (Act 573) and the Immigration Regulations, 2001 (L.I. 1691). It is designed to facilitate the entry of foreign nationals visiting Ghana for non-business purposes, such as tourism, sightseeing, or visiting family. This visa fills the gap for travelers who do not qualify for visa-exempt status or visa-on-arrival arrangements, ensuring that the Ghana Immigration Service can conduct pre-entry checks to maintain national security and regulatory compliance.

This visa is intended for international travelers seeking to explore Ghana's cultural heritage, natural parks, and coastal attractions. It is ideal for tourists who plan a single, short-term visit. A key distinction is that it strictly prohibits any form of employment or business activity within the country. Applicants must typically provide proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay, a valid return ticket, and evidence of accommodation, ensuring they can support themselves during their visit without relying on local resources.
