Travelling to Ghana from the UK
Ghana requires a visa from most visitors, including British passport holders, so a trip needs planning further ahead than a visa-free destination. There is also a health requirement — proof of yellow fever vaccination — that is checked on arrival and cannot be arranged at the last minute.
Our UK-based team confirms the current application route, prepares the forms with you and checks your documents before anything is submitted.
Routes we support
- Visitor visas. Single- and multiple-entry visas for tourism and family visits, applied for before travel through the Ghana High Commission in London.
- Business visas. For meetings, conferences and short work-related visits, normally supported by an invitation from the organisation you are visiting.
- Work and residence. Longer stays for employment usually involve a work permit obtained in Ghana alongside the visa, so these applications need to be sequenced carefully.
- Yellow fever documentation. We check that your vaccination certificate is valid and correctly completed before you rely on it at the border.
Entry rules can change, so always confirm the current position for your situation on the official GOV.UK Ghana entry requirements (opens in new tab) before you book.
