The United States government has lifted its visa restrictions on Ghana, restoring the country’s eligibility for five-year multiple-entry visas. This decision comes after an agreement between both countries regarding the return of Ghanaians who had been issued final deportation orders in the US.

The restriction had been in place since 2019, limiting Ghanaians to short-term visas. With this new development, Ghanaian travelers can once again apply for longer-term visas, which will allow multiple entries to the US over a five-year period. The move is seen as a boost for trade, education, and tourism between the two nations.

Officials in Ghana welcomed the announcement, describing it as a positive step for diplomatic relations and the Ghanaian community abroad. Many believe this will ease travel stress for families, businesses, and students who frequently move between Ghana and the United States.
