The Ghana Immigration Service has officially released the visa fees for tourists, business travellers, and transit passengers for the year 2026. The announcement provides clarity for foreigners planning to visit Ghana for holidays, business meetings, conferences, or as a transit point to other destinations.
Tourist Visa Costs and Conditions
A tourist visa to Ghana is priced at $260, which converts to approximately N358,369 in Nigerian naira. This visa permits holders to stay in the country for up to 30 days. The Ghanaian government encourages international visitors to explore its cultural and natural attractions under this visa category.
Business Visa Details
Similarly, the business visa is also set at $260 (N358,369). It allows foreign nationals to attend business meetings, conferences, trade events, and other commercial activities within Ghana. The same 30-day stay limit applies to business visa holders, according to the Ghana Immigration Service.
Transit Visa Fees
For travellers passing through Ghana en route to another country, a transit visa costs $65 (N89,592.35). This fee is significantly lower than the tourist and business visa fees, reflecting the shorter duration and limited purpose of transit stays.
Payment and Conversion Details
All visa fees are officially listed in US dollars on the Ghana Immigration Service website. For the convenience of Nigerian readers, the amounts have been converted to Nigerian naira using prevailing exchange rates. The Ghana Immigration Service has not announced any changes to the visa validity period, confirming that tourist and business visa holders may remain in the country for a maximum of 30 days from the date of arrival.
This announcement comes as part of Ghana's efforts to streamline its visa application process and provide transparent pricing for international travellers. The fees are effective for applications submitted in 2026.
