Typically bring

• Passport with at least six months validity
• Return or onward flight ticket
• Proof of sufficient funds for your stay
• Passport-sized photographs (typically required, but confirm current rules)
• Any other documents specified by Ghanaian authorities, such as accommodation details

Watch out for

• Not verifying passport validity requirements in advance, which could lead to denial.
• Forgetting to carry a return ticket or proof of funds, which are often checked.
• Assuming the visa fee is fixed without checking for updates, as it can change.
• Not having passport photos ready, which might slow down the process.
• Overlooking health requirements like yellow fever vaccination, which may be mandatory.

Good to know

• The local currency is the Ghanaian Cedi (GHS); carry some cash as cards may not be universally accepted.
• English is the official language, so communication is generally easy for English speakers.
• Mobile internet and connectivity are available through local SIM cards, which can be purchased at the airport.
• Safety-wise, exercise standard caution in crowded areas and avoid displaying valuables.
• Ghana has a tropical climate, so pack light clothing and be prepared for humidity.
