Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Ghana visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa for Ghana. Since 25 May 2026, the standard route is Ghana's official e-Visa, applied for online before travel. Visa-on-arrival has been discontinued for travelers like Taiwanese nationals, and Taiwan does not qualify for any visa-free or fee-free ETA channel. A Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holder is not eligible for visa-free entry, the fee-free ETA (reserved for African Union member-state nationals and a short list of partner countries), or visa-on-arrival to Ghana. As of 25 May 2026, Ghana launched a national e-Visa platform (evisa.immigration.gov.gh) operated by the Ghana Immigration Service with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the legacy visa-on-arrival arrangement has been discontinued for most travelers. Taiwanese tourists must therefore apply for a paid single-entry tourist e-Visa online before departure. The single-entry e-Visa costs USD 260 under standard processing (about 96 hours / 3-5 business days), with faster tiers available (USD 338 for 48-hour priority, USD 442 for 5-hour express); multiple-entry e-Visas run USD 468-796. The e-Visa typically permits a stay of up to 30 days with a three-month validity window from issuance. A valid yellow-fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry, and the passport must be valid at least 6 months with a blank page. Because Ghana is in West Africa, the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS are not relevant. Travelers should confirm current fees and eligibility directly on the official portal before applying, as the system is newly launched and details may evolve.
