Mail your passport with other required documents by certified mail and you will get your visa. It is cheaper that way. Airlines may refuse to fly you. Good luck! Read More

If your partner plans to go to the UK every 4 months, then you dont have to worry about a thing....She is good. You do not need a spousal visa. If it becomes necessary to renew her visa for any reason, just go to the immigration office and you will ... Read More

What cards do ATMs in Accra accept? by Anouk__________

Dear all, I read that a lot of ATMs in Accra do not accept Maestro cards. What is your experience? Which banks do accept Maestro cards? Would you suggest to acquire a Master or Visa card, just to be sure? Thanks in advance for your advice! Best, ...

Ruskin

I use the ATM at Barclays, Ghana Commercial Bank, Stanbic, and UT Bank for my MasterCard and never had a problem. I think Maestro is a MasterCard product, look at the back of the card, if it has cirrus on it then you are good. Read More

I was born in Ghana and have lived in the US for almost 20 years. Ghana is not a cheap place to live unless you can tolerate Ghanaian food, dont mind eating home a lot and wouldn't mind to take the local transportation. Good luck to you! Read More

Option 1 might take you into the red, meaning you will spend more than you make. You will live from paycheck to paycheck with no extra money to save. Option 2 if you plan carefully, for example eat at home often,make fewer phone call abroad, and use ... Read More

Ghana is a safe country, but you have to be careful whom you deal with. Trust your own instincts when dealing with people. There are many people out there that wouldn't physically harm you, but wouldn't mind taking advantage of you. Most taxi ... Read More

Just like any country elsewhere in the world, besides having a visa, you need to have a work permit to be able to get a job in Ghana. While Ghana welcomes foreigners with no much restrictions, you must follow the immigration requirements. You can ... Read More
