Ghana visa options

Travelers entering Ghana have two visa options. You may apply directly through the Ghana Embassy or request an expedited Visa on Arrival arranged by Continent Tours.

Option 1: Apply through the Ghana Embassy

Travelers may apply directly through the Ghana Embassy in Washington, DC or the Ghana Consulate in New York. Procedures and requirements are available at: https://washington.mfa.gov.gh

Our Visa on Arrival service is designed for travelers who want a simple, stress-free alternative to the embassy process. There is no need to mail your passport, manage online uploads, or worry about delays. Once approved, you will receive an official Visa on Arrival authorization by email to present at airline check-in and upon arrival in Ghana, allowing you to travel with confidence. This service is especially helpful for last-minute departures, busy professionals, and group travelers who want the reassurance that their entry arrangements are handled before they leave.
