Tips for China travelers

  • Apply at least 2-3 weeks before travel to allow time for document review and any requests for clarification
  • Keep the yellow fever certificate and its details consistent with your passport, as it is strictly checked at the airport
  • Business travelers should ensure the invitation letter is on official letterhead and signed, since generic letters are a common cause of delay
  • Multiple-entry visas are worth the extra cost for travelers visiting Ghana several times a year, such as those in trade or mining sectors
