Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Start the process at least 6-8 weeks before travel given the lack of a Ghanaian mission in Pakistan

  • Many applicants route their visa request through the Ghanaian mission in the UAE or another neighboring country
  • Extensions of stay can be requested at the Ghana Immigration Service headquarters in Accra before the visa expires
