Since 1 July 2016, all nationals of the African Union that are neither visa-exempt nor eligible to obtain a gratis visa can instead obtain a regular visa valid for a maximum stay of 30 days upon arrival in Ghana, for a fee of 150 USD.[2][24][25]
The arrangement would be piloted at the Accra International Airport in Accra for 3 months, and thereafter extended to all other entry points of the country.[26][27]
Nationals of Egypt can obtain a gratis visa free of charge upon arrival in Ghana. The gratis visa is valid for a maximum stay of 60 days.[2]
Nationals of the United Arab Emirates can obtain a visa on an arrival for 90 days.[1]
If special requirements are satisfied, citizens of countries without any diplomatic or consular mission of Ghana who are travelling on short notice may also obtain a visa on arrival.[28]
Visa is granted on arrival for holders of a copy of a pre-arranged approval from immigration.
