This comes a few weeks after Ghana accepted US deportees from Nigeria and other West African countries.
In a post on X, the country’s Foreign Minister, Samuel Ablakwa, announced that the new policy now allows citizens to apply for five-year multiple-entry visas.
He also stated the reversal of the restrictions comes with other enhanced consular privileges, adding that the development was the result of months of diplomatic engagement.
Also confirming, @USEmbassyinGhana said: “The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce that the maximum validity periods for all categories of nonimmigrant visas for Ghanaians have been restored to their previous lengths.
“The maximum validity allowed for the B1/B2 visitor visa is again five years, multiple entry. The maximum validity for the F1 student visa is again four years, multiple entry.”
Ghana received 14 US deportees from Nigeria and other West African countries, joining Eswatini, Rwanda, and South Sudan on the list of African countries that have received deportees from the US since President Donald Trump’s return to office.
Ghana’s President John Mahama stated that the country agreed to receive West African deportees because the ECOWAS protocol on free movement already allows nationals from the region to enter the country without a visa.
“We agreed with (Washington) that West African nationals were acceptable because all our fellow West African nationals don’t need a visa to come to our country,” he said.
