Ghana visa in .... Senegal? Sierra Leone ? Morocco? etc

sure, some places it's difficult to get ...and at others it is available .... BUT....

as i wrote 3 years ago " there's getting Visa's and getting Visa's EFFICIENTLY"


cost of Ghana visa in SierraLeone $100 (expensive) and S.L. might not be on route

in Rabat , assuming that's start point... make sure enough blank pages to get enough along to a place where u can make a new passport if needed.
What is processing time in Rabat?

so, for EFFICIENCY, consider and evaluate for ur own situation
1. cost
2. processing time
3. route
4. pages remaining in passport
5. requirements (same country, but embassy in one city/country might want more info eg. Letter of Introduction (LOI) or Invitation Letter (IL) or Residency Card
6. risk of not getting it further along , based on success rate of recent traveler from similar-passport-countries


Traveling Africa (part of) again, on a quite different country-passport .... for the fun of it

I agree, he was talking about getting a visa further along. Sierra Leone was literally the only other place I have heard of it getting issued past Senegal. Think the Rabat one is probably the most efficient overall

As of mid 2013, Ghana visa was fastest, no residency requirement , cheapest in Burkina Faso

Hi - thanks for the advice - as it happens I'm back in Dakar having run into issues with Gambia (vehicle traffic blockaded at present, passable with big 'fees'), but in any case the Liberia and Guinea border issues led to rethink - heading via Mali now.
I'll pop into the Ghana embassy again tomorrow - public holiday today - and see where I get. I'll email Burkina and see if I get any joy...not getting any reply from London.

Man I really hope you can find it somewhere. I'm on the same route and can't afford to run into those problems

You'll be fine if you have enough time to spare - just not going to happen quickly...Rabat were quoting ten days. Dakar, not on a Friday, but 3 days if you have a good excuse/are persuasive...

Is a good excuse in Dakar having to send a passport all the way back to Australia if they can't issue the visa do you think?

I think I'll skip Rabat as I don't have 10 days, try Dakar with my Australian passport saying I'll have to send it back to Australia. If its still a no go I'll send my British passport back from Dakar to the UK and have it forwarded to a country further along.... What a pain in the ass

If you send it to the UK, you'll need a friend to go & pick it up for you, I do this regularly (every 2 years for multiple entry) but I very much doubt the Ghanaian High Commission will send your passport to an address overseas.

Phone a friend time!!!

Thanks for reply CREER, is that because you can't get a multi-entry anywhere else? I really need a multi-entry (from Dakar) as I have to fly out of Ghana for a couple of weeks and fly back to continue my trip. If Dakar says absolutely not for multi-entry, then I might as well get started on that now, pretty sure I'll have a friend or two in London.... Has anyone had experience trying to get a multi-entry Ghana visa on the road?

Just an update on my Ghana visa trail - just had application accepted in Ouagadougou.- pretty much the last chance saloon coming this way, but is apparently still reliable option if you provide a good excuse for not applying in home country. Who knows what the situation will be next month - Bamako is currently not issuing to non residents, though of course always worth a try if you're in town.

People travelling North cannot get a Ghana visa in Togo at present either. We tried in Ivory Coast and Mali..No joy...Burkina is the only option at present.
