All Volunteers coming to Ghana are required to have a valid passport and a visa. The visa must be applied in the nearest Ghana Embassy or Consulate. This must be done by 15th June to avoid delays. Volunteers will have to apply for an ENTRY VISA for NOT more than TWO months (not a one-year visa).
When you arrive in Ghana, the Immigration Officer at the Airport will stamp and write 30/60 days in your Passport.
At the Orientation Camp, those staying for six months will be given a Visa extension form, and those staying for more than 6months will be given a residence and work permit form to fill out. Supporting letters from the ICYE GHANA office and volunteers' passports will be attached and submitted on behalf of the Volunteer at the Immigration Office.
The Visa extension and the residence/work permit may take 2months to be ready due to the bureaucratic system it goes through. Volunteers are responsible for the payment of the Visa extension and the residence/work permit.
The cost of a VISA extension is GHC 65 per month and 388 Dollars for the Residence and work Permit. (This is subject to change)
