美国(United States) 前往 加纳(Ghana) 签证要求

Yes, US ordinary passport holders need a visa for Ghana. Since 25 May 2026 the recommended route is the official Ghana Immigration Service eVisa, applied for online before travel. A valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. US citizens are not eligible for visa-free entry to Ghana and there is no routine visa-on-arrival for ordinary travel. As of 25 May 2026, the Ghana Immigration Service operates an official electronic visa (eVisa) portal at evisa.immigration.gov.gh, which is now the recommended channel for US tourists. Applicants create an account, submit travel details and documents, pay online, and receive the e-Visa by email to print or present digitally at the port of entry. Standard processing is roughly 2-4 business days (sources cite a 72-96 hour service window), with faster priority and express tiers available at higher cost. Tourist single-entry fees start around USD 260 under standard processing, with multiple-entry options higher. A traditional sticker visa from the Ghana Embassy in Washington, DC remains an alternative. Separately, Ghana requires every traveler over 9 months of age to show a valid International Certificate of Vaccination (Yellow Fever) on arrival; the original yellow card is required and digital copies are not accepted. A visa does not guarantee entry, which remains at the discretion of immigration officers at the border.
