Italy to Ghana visa requirements

Italian passport holders need an eVisa to visit Ghana. As of 25 May 2026, Ghana requires non-African nationals to apply online through the official Ghana Immigration Service eVisa portal before travel; the old visa-on-arrival route is no longer the standard channel. An Italian ordinary passport holder traveling to Ghana for tourism must obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) before departure. On 25 May 2026 Ghana launched a nationwide eVisa platform operated by the Ghana Immigration Service, which discontinued the long-standing visa-on-arrival arrangement for most travelers. While African (ECOWAS, African Union and Caribbean) nationals now use a free Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), non-African nationals such as Italians must apply and pay for a standard eVisa online. The single-entry tourist eVisa costs USD 260 under standard processing (roughly 72-96 hours), with priority (USD 338) and 5-hour express (USD 442) tiers available; a multiple-entry eVisa costs USD 468 and up. The eVisa is typically valid for 90 days from issue and permits a tourist stay of 30-90 days depending on the grant. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay, proof of onward/return travel, and a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate, which is a mandatory entry requirement for Ghana. Ghana is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route.
