Argentina to Ghana visa requirements

Q: Is the free Ghana visa for Africans available to Argentines?

No. The fee waiver introduced on 25 May 2026 applies only to African passport holders. Argentine citizens pay the standard e-Visa fee (around USD 260).

Q: How long can I stay in Ghana as a tourist?

The e-Visa is valid for 90 days from issuance, and the immigration officer typically grants a stay of up to 60 days for tourism at the port of entry.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. Ghana requires proof of yellow fever vaccination, and the certificate is checked on arrival, so carry it with your travel documents.

Q: How early should I apply for the e-Visa?

Apply at least 1-2 weeks before departure under standard processing (3-10 business days). Priority and express tiers are available at higher fees if you are short on time.

Q: Where is the official application portal?

Apply only through the Ghana Immigration Service portal at evisa.immigration.gov.gh to avoid third-party markups and scams.

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Ghana. Since the launch of Ghana's national e-Visa portal on 25 May 2026, the standard route for a short tourist stay is to apply online for a single-entry tourist e-Visa before travel (paid, as the free-visa waiver applies only to African/ECOWAS nationals). Walk-up visa-on-arrival is no longer the standard channel. Ghana is not a visa-free or visa-on-arrival destination for Argentine citizens. Argentina is neither an ECOWAS member (whose nationals enter visa-free for 90 days) nor covered by the new fee-waiver for African passport holders introduced on 25 May 2026. Argentine ordinary passport holders therefore require a paid tourist visa, which is now applied for through the Ghana Immigration Service official e-Visa portal (evisa.immigration.gov.gh) launched in May 2026. The standard product is a single-entry tourist e-Visa valid for 90 days from issuance, with a typical permitted stay set by the immigration officer at entry (commonly up to 60 days for tourism). Applicants must hold a passport valid at least 6 months, provide a photo, travel itinerary, accommodation and travel/medical details, and present proof of yellow fever vaccination on arrival. Standard processing runs about 3-10 business days; faster priority and express tiers exist at higher fees. The fee for the standard single-entry e-Visa is reported at around USD 260 for non-African nationals. Travelers should complete the application and obtain the approved e-Visa before boarding, then carry the printed confirmation to Ghana. Because fee figures and processing tiers were still settling shortly after the May 2026 rollout, applicants should reconfirm current pricing on the official portal at the time of application.
