Spain to Ghana visa requirements

Spanish ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Ghana for tourism. As of 25 May 2026, the standard route is Ghana's new national e-Visa, applied for online before travel at evisa.immigration.gov.gh. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Spanish nationals, and the free ETA fee-waiver applies only to African (ECOWAS/AU) passport holders, not to Spain. Ghana is not a visa-free destination for Spanish (EU) ordinary passport holders, and Spain holds no bilateral visa-waiver with Ghana. On 25 May 2026 (African Union Day) Ghana launched a national e-Visa and ETA platform at evisa.immigration.gov.gh. Under this system, African Union/ECOWAS/Caribbean nationals receive a free Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), while all other travellers who require a visa — including Spanish and other European citizens — apply for a paid e-Visa online before departure. The e-Visa replaces the previous embassy-application process as the primary channel and is accepted from 190+ countries through the official portal. Single-entry tourist e-Visa fees start at USD 260 under normal processing (3-5 business days), with priority (48h, USD 338) and express (5h, USD 442) options; multiple-entry e-Visas cost USD 468/608/796. First-time visitors are typically issued a single-entry visa valid for three months, with the actual permitted length of stay set by the Ghana Immigration Service officer at the port of entry (commonly up to 60 days). Passports must hold at least six months' validity and blank pages. Travellers should apply at least 2-4 weeks ahead. Embassy/consular application remains available as a fallback. The verdict is "evisa" as the best single fit for a short tourist stay.
