Egypt to Ghana visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders can enter Ghana with a gratis (free) visa on arrival, valid for up to 60 days. This is not a full visa waiver: although the visa fee is waived for Egyptians, you must still be issued a visa at the port of entry, so carry full supporting documents (yellow fever certificate, return ticket, proof of funds). As of mid-2026, Egyptian citizens holding an ordinary passport are NOT on Ghana's full visa-exempt list. Instead, Ghana grants them a "gratis" visa on arrival — issued free of charge at the airport or land border — for a maximum stay of 60 days for tourism, family visits or short business. Several travel aggregators incorrectly label this "visa-free," but the Ghana Immigration Service and Ghana's own embassy in Cairo confirm a fee-waived visa-on-arrival arrangement rather than a true waiver. A reciprocal bilateral waiver covering diplomatic and service passports has been discussed between the two governments but is not yet in force for ordinary passports. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers entering Ghana. Because visa on arrival depends on the immigration officer regularizing entry, travelers should carry a passport valid at least six months, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. Those wanting certainty before travel may instead apply for an eVisa or an embassy visa in Cairo in advance.
