Visa on Arrival

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 11:42:40 +0000

Our Visa on Arrival (VOA) service allows eligible travelers to enter Ghana without obtaining a traditional single-entry or multi-entry visa through a Ghanaian embassy or consulate prior to travel.

This option is ideal for tour groups, business travelers, last-minute travelers, or individuals who are unable to submit their passport to an embassy for visa processing in their home country.

The Visa on Arrival permits single entry into Ghana and is valid for 30 days, with the option to extend your stay if additional time is desired in the country during this visit.

Minimum delivery timeframe:

Standard: 3 - 5 working days
Expedited: 1 - 2 working days

What to Expect

After placing your order, you will receive a Visa on Arrival application, which you will complete, and attach your flight and accommodation information for processing.
Because the Visa on Arrival travel authorization is valid for just 30 days once issued, applications are processed at the most appropriate time to ensure the document remains valid for your intended travel date. This may result in delivery outside of the minimum stated processing timeframe to prevent expiration prior to use.
Once your Visa on Arrival application is approved, your will receive a Letter of Authorization via email, which you will print and present to the airline at check-in and upon arrival in Ghana. This letter is normally delivered within 1 - 3 days prior to your travel date.
Upon arrival in Ghana, this document will be exchanged for a physical visa stamp in your passport.
