Visa on Arrival Ghana
If you’re planning a trip to Ghana but didn’t secure a traditional visa before your departure, the visa on arrival Ghana option could be an alternative — especially for people traveling at short notice or from places where there is no Ghanaian consulate or embassy. This guide explains what the visa on arrival is, who qualifies, the documents required, and how the process works so you can plan your trip with confidence.
What Is Ghana Visa on Arrival?
The Ghana visa on arrival, also sometimes referred to as an Emergency Entry Visa (EEV), allows visitors to obtain their entry visa at the point of entry into Ghana — typically at Kotoka International Airport (Accra), provided the visa has been pre-approved before travel. Simply arriving without prior authorization does not guarantee that you will be allowed to board your flight or be admitted on arrival.

Visa on arrival fees and processing times can vary. Standard processing through the Immigration Service often takes a few days, but express or urgent processing may be available at higher costs. All payments are typically handled by the host or sponsor in Ghana.
