Since the arrival of the new diplomat in November, the procedure at the consulate has changed from what you are used to. For example, you now need two people to sign the invitation in Ghana. The expedited procedure is no longer completed on the same day, but two business days later. This expedited procedure rule also applies when you apply for the visa in person.

Processing time at the consulate: 1 week

Expedited procedure: 2 business days

Note: Ghanaian and Dutch national holidays are not considered business days!

The documents that are required for your visa

  • Your passport.
  • We need to have the passport physically, so no copy.
  • Your passport must still be valid for at least 6½ months after the validity of the visa (ie one and a half year valid if it is an annual visa).
  • The passport must have at least two blank facing visa pages.
  • One color passport photo.
  • Note that these photos are according to the Dutch standard of ‘passport photo’, that is to say, looking forward, white background, do not laugh and do not show teeth.
  • Wearing glasses in the photo is not permitted
  • Nine times out of ten, the consulate does not accept a photo from your own printer. If you do so, make sure you use gloss paper and there are no stripes visible from the print.
  • Do not staple the photo to the application form, but rather use a Pritt stick. If you do not have a Pritt stick, please include your loose photo and we will attach it to the form for you.
  • Do not stick the photos with adhesive tape

Other conditions that you must pay extra attention to:

  • The photos may not be older than 3 months
  • The photos may not be the same as on the passport unless the passport is not older than 3 months
  • The photos must have a white background.
  • A booking confirmation of your flight (return ticket)
  • The consulate wants to see when you enter the country and go out again
  • It may be a booking for a flight, bus, train, boat
  • Your name must be mentioned on it
  • The consulate must recognize the confirmation as being that it comes from a travel agency or an airline.
  • A confirmation of a flight by a customer of your will not be accepted because the consulate will say that anyone can do this. Think of logos, photos or other features that an official confirmation of an airline by mail in general meets
  • Our advice, make sure you take out cancellation insurance when purchasing your flight. In the event that you do not receive your visa, you will not suffer any financial

Booking confirmation from at least two different hotels

The new consulate policy: you must book a hotel for every day in Ghana

Hotels:
You must have a booking for each day you are in Ghana and two hotels as reference

If you plan to spend a large part of your holiday in someone’s private residence, next to the hotel, you will need an invitation

Hotels and a private home:
An invitation letter from a friend in Ghana inviting you to stay at his private address.

You must be invited by two people in Ghana. In other words, it may be a letter with two names (two persons in one letter)
A copy of the passports of the Ghanaians you invite. If it concerns a foreigner, then a copy of his foreign passport and a copy of his Ghanaian residence permit
The Ghanaian must sign the invitation letter. Without a signature, your application will be rejected by the embassy.

If you do not meet these requirements, there is no point in applying for your visa. Consulate policy has become very strict. Since the introduction of this new policy, we have been hearing people say that they have been applying for visas for years and will succeed. Forget it. They’ve gotten very strict with the new policy.

For the visa application, you must be vaccinated against yellow fever. You must enclose a copy of the yellow booklet, within the valid stamp that you have been vaccinated against yellow fever.

Our advice: ask the GGD or your doctor whether further vaccinations are needed for this country. But for the visa application is the vaccination against yellow fever sufficient.

  • A copy of the passport of the applicant
  • Note that you also need to provide the original passport as requested on this page

Applying for a multiple entry visa is only possible with:

  • A written English explanation as to why multiple entries are required. Keep in mind that the Ghanaian official decides whether you will receive more than one entry.
  • A booking confirmation of your upcoming trip in which you prove that you are entering the country multiple times.
  • Note that from the Netherlands to Ghana and back to the Netherlands and then returning to Ghana is not an option! It must be about traveling in the Ghana area.

The importance of a visa

If you are traveling to other EU member states, then as a Dutch passport holder you do not need a visa. Many travelers are therefore not used to having to apply for a visa.

Only if you are traveling through Ghana to a 3rd destination, you may stay in the country for a few days without a visa. The number of days that you can stay in the country without a visa depends on the Ghanaian city in which you are staying and the airline with which you are flying. Because there are all kinds of hooks to these regulations, we advise you to apply for a visa at all times before you leave so that you will not be faced with any surprises.
