Ghanaian government said it would issue visa on arrival to travellers entering the country from December 22, 2022, to January 15, 2023.
Reports said that the Country’s Transport Minister, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah made this known in a circular issued on Thursday (December 22, 2022) and addressed to all airlines.

The initiative is a 10-year project of the government of Ghana to promote tourism and homecoming of Africans and Ghanaians in the Diaspora and to foster economic relations and investments from the Diaspora in Africa and Ghana.
The statement said: “Following consultation between the ministry of foreign affairs, the ministry of interior, the ministry of tourism, art and culture, Ghana immigration service, and the Ghana tourism authority, approval has been given for passengers travelling to Ghana to opt for visa-on-arrival waiving the requirement for prior approval.
“This arrangement is effective from 22nd December 2022 to 15th January 2023.”
