What a Ghana business visa covers
The Ghana business visa is for meetings, negotiations, conferences and similar short business trips. It doesn't allow you to take up paid work in Ghana. For holidays, see our Ghana tourist visa page.
Business visa or e-Business visa?
Ghana also offers an e-Business visa, applied for online so you keep your passport. The High Commission visa can suit travellers who prefer a visa in their passport or whose case doesn't fit the eVisa. We'll tell you which is best for your trip.
Yellow fever certificate
Ghana requires all arriving travellers to show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before you travel, at a registered yellow fever centre.

High Commission processing times vary. Allow several weeks, and longer around Christmas and festival periods.
Do I need a yellow fever certificate?
