Immigration Issues & Permits

Passports

All international students must have passports from their governments before they can enter the country.

 Visas

Students arriving in Ghana from ECOWAS Countries are not required to obtain visas since Ghana is a member of the ECOWAS and subscribes to the protocol on free movement. Non-ECOWAS students however, require a visa.
