Any experience with the Ghana embassy in Conakry or Abidjan?
 

I'm considering switching my plans a bit and may skip going up to Ouagadougou seeing as I can spend much less time just going into Conakry or Abidjan for my Ghana visa. Does anyone know if they're accommodating?

Hey there. 3 friends of mine tried in Conakry and they were not successful, the residency rule applies. They got it rather easily in Abidjan ( 2 weeks ago ) for CFA 30,000 and a print out of a hotel booking I think. I picked mine up in Freetown, Sierra Leone, with a fair bit of haggling with the visa Princess behind the desk. Good luck !

Thanks. I actually just got back from the embassy in Conakry and it seems you're right. The woman said that it was possible to get a residency permit and then she can get me the visa in two days, but I'm honestly not in the mood to deal with it or stay in this :censored: any longer than I have to. Sierra Leone embassy said to come back in the morning, so I'll attempt to get it in Freetown, if not then Abidjan.

The Freetown Ghana embassy has moved , it is not in the downtown area anymore. It is located maybe 500 m down the road from the Liberian and UK High Commissions. Try to come up with a good story though, the lady in charge of visas will insist that you are a resident to apply there too.
