Ghanaians can now be eligible for five-year multiple entry visas and other enhanced consular privileges.
According to HON. SAMUEL OKUDZETO ABLAKWA, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, this good news was directly communicated to me by US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Allison Hooker at a bilateral meeting earlier today, in the margins of the UN General Assembly.
He said he was really pleased that months of high-level diplomatic negotiations has led to a successful outcome.
“It will be recalled that the US imposed visa restrictions on Ghana and other countries in July this year’. The affected countries were slapped with a maximum three-month single entry visas and other limitations. In the specific case of Ghana, the Trump Administration said they were reacting to many years of visa overstays mainly by students”. HON. SAMUEL OKUDZETO ABLAKWA states.
It’s good to see healthier and stronger Ghana 🇬🇭 USA 🇺🇸 relations once again. He said.
